Nope .. I don't have such a plugin, and I'm not aware of one that would help with this (but I've added it to my list of plugins to develop).
I just did some quick testing, and it appears (in FM 7.1) that this doesn't affect other marker types .. so in theory, you could rename your Cross-Ref markers to some other type, then do the sorting, and rename them back to Cross-Refs. You could do this renaming via a global search/replace in a MIF file, if there were too many to do manually. Not the best option for a clean workflow, but it may be an option. If you're a FrameScripter, this would probably be a nice little script to rename all markers of a given type to another "temporary" marker type.
