Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
When using xrefmap for .NET types.
It's recommended to use xrefmap file that is located at `https://github.com/dotnet/docfx/raw/main/.xrefmap.json`. (By #9659.)
**Problems**
This file contains `312235` reference items.
But the `sorted: true` property is not set.
So when searching for specific `uid`. It requires to execute liner search.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
As far as I've tested.
These items are already sorted by UID with `InvariantCulture` order.
So it can use faster binary search. if `sorted: true` property is set.
**Additional Information**
Alternatively. It might possible to use following xrefmap files.
Is these URLs are still supported?
1. `https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/.xrefmap.json` (316 MB)
2. `https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/xrefmap.yml` (283 MB)
- This yml file set `sorted: true` by default
