 * Hi,
 * This a really great plugin that helps us a lot in our work!
 * But we have a problem where the Sortable Function for groups isn’t working. Even
   after saving the Page as noted as a solution here: [https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/issues/692](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/issues/692)
 * We are using the following plugins:
    - [https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2-Snippet-Library/blob/master/javascript/cmb2-js-validation-required.php](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2-Snippet-Library/blob/master/javascript/cmb2-js-validation-required.php)

 *  - Here is the code for the field:
    -     ```
          /**

          	 *
          	 * SIDLÄNKAR

          	) );
          	// $group_field_id is the field id string, so in this case: $prefix . 'demo'
          	$group_field_id = $cmb_group->add_field( array(
          		'id'          => $prefix . 'subfeatured_content',

          		),

          	 * Group fields works the same, except ids only need
          	 * to be unique to the group. Prefix is not needed.

 * Can you go into better detail about exactly what you’re experiencing? I know 
   you point out an issue, but it’s to one that I had the original reporter move
   to the forums here, so there’s a disconnect going on.
