   @gsmiller I totally agree its not helpful if the input/data `Collection` is 
sorted since its a unnecessary overhead to convert to a `List` here. As per 
`TermInSetQuery` ctor its checking if the `collection` is of `SortedSet` type 
and uses natural ordering. But what if the user is explicitly passing a List 
(or any `Collection` for that matter) which is already sorted but is not 
`SortedSet`?
   Could we expose another `#build` function as `build(Collection<BytesRef> 
input, boolean asBinary, boolean isSorted)` or for better maybe 
`makeStringUnion(Collection<BytesRef> utf8Strings, boolean isSorted)` (similar 
to the one in tests in this PR) to completely bypass the sorting/checks if 
incase `isSorted == true` else we could have the same check as in 
`TermInSetquery` ctor and sort the terms incase they are not before moving on 
in `Automata#makeStringUnion` as you mentioned? Let me know your thoughts?
