Linq to SQL Association combo box order

Question

This is kind of a weird question and more of an annoyance than technical brick wall.

When I'm adding tables and such using the Linq-to-SQL designer and I want to create an association using the dialogs. I right click on one of the target tables and choose Add > Association as normal and I am presented with the Association Editor.

The Parent Class: and Child Class: combo boxes are filled with the tables that currently exist in the designer.

But they are not in alphabetical order they are in the order that they were added to the designer.

Can I change the order of these combo boxes? And if I can, where do I do this?

Answer 1

I went poking around some and found an answer.

The dbml file is an XML file that hold all of the basic information about the SQL tables, connections, etc. needed for Linq-to-SQL. By reordering the Table elements, you affect the order of the combo boxes used in the Association editor.
