    I just discovered that this has been implemented.

    On the Connection Properties dialog (for MS SQL databases), "Display columns in alphabetical order" is an option under Data Context Options.

    To clarify (what I believe) Jack is saying...

    Presently in the Explorer window on the left, in the tree, the column are listed in physical order -- generally the order they were added. On legacy projects, columns at added a few at a time over years, so a table could have hundreds of columns, with many that logically work together spaced far apart. (for example, a table may be created with an "RenewalPeriodEndDate" column. Then years later, a "RenewalPeriodStartDate" column is added, with many other columns in between)
    So, we'd like a option (perhaps on the table context menu), to have the columns listed in the tree in alphabetic order.

    SQL Authentication is not a substitution. At my job, I have three different Windows AD userid: 1) my standard network login, which gets me on the development databases, 2) a higher privileged userid (which requires requesting a temporary password) for access the production db (but cannot be used to log onto a desktop PC), and 3) a standard network login for the west coast office. To use either of the latter two, I have to launch a separate instance of LinqPad (shift-right-click, Run As...) which is a major hassle.

    While the code cited by Anonymous at necronet is useful and would be a nice starting off point, it can't match the utility of a native feature.

    Basically, the internal data structures have much information needed to code-generate these classes which is not available via MyExtensions.

    Things like the primary Key, the foreign keys, field lengths etc.

    As a built-in feature, it could also be put of the Database explorer right-click context menu.
