Meta Box

Hello Long,

I see the fix for this did not make version 1.2.14. Is there anything I can do to help move this along?

Cool, that makes sense. How should I handle the situation of natively including Metabox Extensions in a plugin or theme? Groups would be a required extension for anyone using the plugin? Or is there a way I can bundle it within the extension without listing it as an actual plugin on the site and still be OK?

Yeah, it's a button inside of a metabox that triggers it. I was able to kind of hack in the functionality by just triggering a click on the "Clone" button, locating the :last clone, and iterating through its fields. This is actually good enough for now, I wouldn't consider this a feature request, I was just curious if there was a built-in way.

Actually, after testing this a bit more, here's steps to reproduce:

Create a few items. They can be of any "content type".
Save the page.
Create a new item (New Item A).
Save the page.
Re-order the item anywhere. Notice where you leave it. I suggest re-ordering the new item into the #2 slot, just so it's easy to remember.
Save the page.
The new item is in the correct slot, right? Awesome.
Create a new item (New Item B), and leave it at the end of the list.
Save the page.
New Item B has now replaced New Item A in slot #2, and New Item A has disappeared.

Also, after this point, continuing to add a new item will continually replace the item in slot #2- New Item B will be replaced by New Item C, and so forth. If you add multiple items at once, the first New Item X will replace whatever is in slot #2, and New Item Y will fall at the end of the list.
