    Is this not possible? I am migrating from ACF and would like to organize my existing fields for one particular post type in a Group. I'm trying to drag the field under the group, and that doesn't seem to be working. Is it not possible to organize fields under a group or do they have to be originally created under the group?

    If it's not possible, how can I organize pre-existing fields on the admin screen?

    Hello Julia,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    It is possible to move a field under a group field. You need to add at least one subfield to the group field then you can drag and drop a top field under the group. Please check this screen record https://imgur.com/18SD1XJ

    And please note that, the field value won't be displayed when you edit the post because the group field has a different data type stored in the database. Following the documentation
    https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-group/#getting-sub-field-values
