Disclaimer: I jumped to C# 2008 recently and SubSonic 3 (3.0.0.4) at the same time. I haven't used Linq for much of anything in the past.

Is there an easy way to use the foreign key display value for sorting, rather than the FK Id (which is numeric)?

I've added a new Find method in my ActiveRecord.tt to help with sorting based on a string field name but after doing some testing I realized that even though its working as it should be, I am not handling foreign key fields at all (they are just sorting by their value).

Even if I need to change how I am accessing the data it is early enough in the project to do that. Just looking for suggestions.
