The only workaround I know of is to change the marker type of all cross-reference markers (in tables or throughout), leaving the marker text unchanged (for example, change the marker type to a custom type, or to Comment if not used otherwise). After the table is sorted, change the marker type back to Cross-reference. This can be automated with FrameScript or by processing the MIF file.
