    initial v8

    55I assume this has been in since whatever version added sortable metaboxes.

     7EDIT BY ANTPB:
     8This issue was brought to light again through the WPCampus-report when it was discovered that the weight of the edit image attributes was not able to be ordered. This is true for all forms of meta boxes so I’m adding in the details from the specific Edit Image context to highlight the accessibility importance of this issue:

     20Edit Media
     21Issue description
     22The Edit Media interface* includes the ability to re-arrange the boxes by
     23drag and drop, however this can only be achieved by mouse users, since
     24the functionality does not support touch or keyboard users.
     25
     26Users of touchscreens and keyboards cannot re-order the boxes. Speech
     27recognition users may be able to if they can manipulate the mouse with
     28speech (such as using Mouse Move), however this is onerous and
     29difficult.
     30
     31Remediation Guidance
     32Allow keyboard and touchscreen users the ability to re-arrange the
     33boxes. This can either be done with dedicated buttons, such as are used
     34within Gutenberg for moving Blocks; or it could be done by extending
     35drag and drop support to keyboard and touch users (a good example of
     36which is dragondrop: https://schne324.github.io/dragon-drop/demo/).
