 * Suppose we have a connection between post types ‘actor’ and ‘movie’. Is it possible
   to satisfy both of these requirements?:
 * 1. Make connection metabox visible on both ‘actor’ and ‘movie’ edit screens.
 * 2. On ‘movie’ screen, connected actors are sortable/reorderable.
 * My understanding is that #1 is only possible if the connection is reciprocal,
   and #2 is only possible if it’s not. Is there any way to have it both ways?

 * Using Posts 2 Posts 1.1.5:
 * 1. That’s the default behavior, regardless of ‘reciprocal’.
 * 2. Sure, use `'sortable' => 'from'` or `'sortable' => 'to'`:
