How important is this feature to you?

3 – Lack of it makes using Enso slightly harder

Describe the idea you'd like to see implemented.

when using the createNodes funtion, or Ast library it'd be great to be able to create one node from another. For example Table -> filterNode -> sortNode.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

relates to #10491

@marthasharkey Is it blocking you? I assume https://github.com/enso-org/enso/issues/10491 could be handled by just putting one node, like node1.sort <args> . filter <args>?

i do think that does make more sense, the node graph ends up a bit cleaner. and also it's not like the resulting expression is more difficult to edit either way, i think?

It should not, the widgets should work normally. It's may only look confusing (see https://github.com/enso-org/enso/issues/10278)
