Using NHibernate LINQ, Is it possible to put a .Where() clause after a .ThenFetch()

Question

I understand that in NHibernate LINQ, you need to have the fetches at the end of your code but how would you filter on something that is loaded via a ThenFetch ?

Here is an example

   IEnumerable<Project> list = Session.Query<Project>()
                                      .FetchMany(r => r.ProjectSponsors)
                                      .ThenFetch(r => r.Sponsor)
                                      .Where(r => !r.Name == "Joe");

this above doens't work as it throws a NotSupportedException .

Any ideas on the right way to implement the above query?

No currently it isn't. Fetch can only be used as last statement.
