BindingListCollectionView implements everything you need. Like Comparer for example

dataset.ReportingUser.OrderBy(
  row =>
  {
    System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("*** called ***");
    return row.ReportingRow.ReportingName;
  });

But then again: If I install a winform app on the client machine, then I can access a remote db directly without WCF, as long as I know the correct query string. Why isn't that possible in Silverlight?

O.Net objects (SqlDataConnection, SqlCommand, SqlDataReader etc) and access the SQL server directly like you can from a Webforms app?
