can this add-in sort this JSON?

It can't.

That is because you want to sort an array based on a property - because you are sorting an array, you are changing the meaning of the JSON. Sort-JSON aims to preserve the meaning of the JSON, but make it better organized (which is especially useful for source-control diffs).
