 While developing a plugin with a custom meta field inside a custom post
 type, (created using add_meta_box() ) and then trying to tap into
 edit_form_after_title, it wasn't moving the custom meta field.  Upon
 further investigation I noticed in function do_meta_boxes the code to pull
 the sorted ones out of their previous context apparently causes the
 removal of any that have not been sorted.

 before sorted code:
 var_dump( $wp_meta_boxes[ $page ][ $context ] );


 {{{
 array (size=1)
   'high' =>
     array (size=1)
       'company-region' =>
         array (size=4)
           'id' => string 'company-region' (length=14)
           'title' => string 'Company Region' (length=14)
           'callback' =>
             array (size=2)
               ...
           'args' => null
 }}}


 After sorted code:


 {{{
 array (size=1)
   'high' =>
     array (size=0)
       empty
 }}}
