what i always do as commie:
i make my squad. Pull myself and my friends who i am calling with to subgroup 2. i always only lock sub 2.
everyone else is then in subgroup 1.
before the change, i was able to drag people around within the sub 1 who are not on my instance, for example from the top of the sub 1 to the bottom of sub 1 so that it looks more sorted.
Now i can not move anyone within sub 1
