Visual Studio Extension for sorting field assignments

Question

When various objects have many fields in them it is sometimes a daunting task to ensure that you've assigned all fields properly especially when having to maintain someone else's code or simply going through a project cleanup. Is there a tool or extension for visual studio that can be used to sort fields assignments alphabetically by the object's field names as following:

From

ObjectName obj = new ObjectName
{
    SecondField = anotherObject.SecondField,
    ThirdField  = anotherObject.ThirdField,
    FirstField  = anotherObject.FirstField
};

to

ObjectName obj = new ObjectName
{
    FirstField  = anotherObject.FirstField,
    SecondField = anotherObject.SecondField,
    ThirdField  = anotherObject.ThirdField
};

I usually avoid this issue by using a simple Ctrl+Space when assigning each field which brings up an alphabetic list of fields to assign then I assign everything in a sorted manner.
