Not like that, lol

Just saying, instead of this monstrosity

CreateOrderRequest(user,
                   productDetails,
                   pricingCalculator,
                   order => order.internalNumber)

Just use

CreateOrderRequest(
    user,
    ...

Putting the first argument on a separate line.

Same if you have an if using a bunch of and (one condition per line, first one on a new line instead of same line as the if) and similar situations.

When I talk about alignment it's not about function arguments, but values, "=" signs and such. You simply cannot use tabs for that because alignment must be fixed and indentation independent:

CreateOrderRequest(
    user,
    productDetails     => order.detail,
    pricingCalculator  => DEFAULT_CALCULATOR,
    order              => order.internalNumber)
