Normally it should be enough to simply enqueue the postsbox
script on a page where you want to have sortable meta boxes.
Simply do the following:
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'wpse112022_postbox_enqueue' );
function wpse112022_postbox_enqueue( $hook_suffix )
{
// uncomment the next line to see what the $hook_suffix of your desired page is
# var_dump( $hook_suffix );
if ( 'hook_suffix of desired page' !== $hook_suffix )
return;
wp_enqueue_script( 'postbox' );
// If the last line didn't enqueue the script, then uncomment the following instead:
/*
$suffix = defined( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG' ) && SCRIPT_DEBUG ? '' : '.min';
wp_enqueue_script(
'postbox',
"/wp-admin/js/postbox{$suffix}.js",
array( 'jquery-ui-sortable' ),
false
true
);
*/
}
