Hello Julia,

I think node filtering and sorting is a great feature and it will
improve UX, but we need to remember that with increasing number of
nodes increases number of automation tasks. If fuel user want to
automate something he will use fuel client not Fuel GUI. This is why I
think sorting and filtering should be done on backend side.
We should stop thinking that Fuel UI is the only way to interact with Fuel.

Regards,
