Sort and/or filter results by node type #180
Description
This issue is to suggest that the UI supports the ability for users to sort and/or filter by node type (Biolink category). For example, the query below returns 5000 answers (n2 = NamedThing), but I'd like to sort and/or filter by the Biolink categories associated with n2. Now, I can always run additional queries to change n2 to MolecularActivity, for example, but it would be helpful to be able to sort and/or filter the results in order to quickly explore the space.
