Following works (ordered by name):
from t in context.Table1.OrderBy( "it.Name" ) select t

This doesn't work (no ordering):
from t in context.Table1.OrderBy( "it.Name" )
join t2 in context.Table2 on t.SomeId equals t2.SomeId select t

Nor does this (trying to reference the parent table to order):
from t in context.Table1
join t2 in context.Table2.OrderBy( "it.Table1.Name" ) on t.SomeId equals t2.SomeId select t

Nor does this (trying to order on the child table):
from t in context.Table1
join t2 in context.Table2.OrderBy( "it.ChildName" ) on t.SomeId equals t2.SomeId select t

How do I cause OrderBy not to be ignored while joining?
