With the old node tool, both aligning methods were available:
- last selected: using the 'Align&Distribute' dialog
- averaged coordinates: using the integrated 'align' function for multiple selected nodes in the x-, y-entry fields on the node tool controls bar (added in revision 4174)
The new node tool is limited to averaging the coordinates of the selected nodes in the 'Align&Distribute' dialog.
