Load json section to Dictionary C# and preserver insertion order

Json file entry looks like this: settings.json

{
"MyJson": {
    "Machine": "machine",
    "Date": "date",
    "Time": "time",
    "Milli": "milli"
}
}

And I am using below code to convert this json to dictionary in C#

 public static Dictionary<string,string> myDict{  get; private set; }

 var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder().AddJsonFile("settings.json", false, true).Build();
        myDict = configuration.GetSection("MyJson").Get<Dictionary<string, string>>();

This code is storing key based sorted entries in myDict. I want to maintain the insertion order in myDict. Is there are solution for this?

    public static LinkedDictionary<string, string> myDict { get; private set; }
var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder().AddJsonFile("settings.json", false, true).Build();

myDict = configuration.GetSection("MyJson").Get<LinkedDictionary<string,string();

    There is no any practical use in order maintaining. If you need it for some weird reason, add to each item an order number like this, for example

    "MyJson": {
    "10 Machine": "machine",
    "20 Date": "date",
    "25 Time": "time",
    "30 Milli": "milli"
}

var myDict = configuration.GetSection("MyJson")
                          .Get<Dictionary<string,string>>()
                          .ToDictionary(x => x.Key.Substring(3), x => x.Value);
