…12 where calling NativeFromBinary() then TextFromNative() on union types would sometime throw error such as:
```
Error: cannot encode textual map: value for \"policy_id\" does not match its schema: cannot encode textual union: cannot encode textual null: expected: Go nil; received: int64
```
Even though `policy_id` is defined as
```
{
"default": null,
"name": "policy_id",
"type": [
"null",
"long"
]
},
```
and encoded value is `140866783150163`
or also
```Error: cannot encode textual map: value for \"plans\" does not match its schema: cannot encode textual union: cannot encode textual array item 1; map[carrier_id:map[null:63919423854] hippospace:ellie_insurance-api-dev-feature-clone-car id:map[null:63919489391] name:Kaiser Senior practice_id:655364]: cannot encode textual map: value for \"carrier_id\" does not match its schema: cannot encode textual union: cannot encode textual null: expected: Go nil; received: int64.
```
- Refactored sorting of allowed types in nativeAvroFromTextualJSON to avoid mutating shared state. Create a local copy for sorting to ensure thread safety and maintain integrity of codecInfo.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I found that union handling was mutating shared cr.allowedTypes and checkAll iterated over it instead of its parameter, which could cause wrong branch labels like "null" instead of "long".
As a result:
- Use the allowedTypes parameter inside checkAll.
- Stop sorting cr.allowedTypes and instead create a local copy to use inside checkAll
