DynamicLinq library not in framework 4.5

Any reason why DynamicLinq library is not in framework 45? I was using it to order list from store procedures that I could not used the extension OrderBy() example:

public List<Shoe> GetShoes(string sortExpression = "MotelTitle Asc")
        {
            const string procedure = "P_SELECT_SHOES";
            return db.Read(procedure, Make).AsQueryable().OrderBy(sortExpression).ToList(); //using the DynamicLinq library OrderBy()
        }

DynamicLinq library is not included in 4.5 because there was no need for it.

By the way, it was originally made available by Microsoft and today you can find an 'evolution' of this library in NuGet if you need it for your own work.

Click here for a Stackoverflow discussion on the different ways to get this library.

Hope this helps.
