The problem you have is that someone has already reordered the boxes. The first thing you need to do is find all of the user meta and delete it.
I would employ 2 things form here https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/2474/disable-dragging-of-meta-boxes
1) Disable the boxes from being sorted in the first place. In a custom JS file that loads in the admin I add
(function($){
$(document).ready(function(e) {
$('.meta-box-sortables').sortable({
disabled: true
});
$('.postbox .hndle').css('cursor', 'pointer');
});
})(jQuery);
Then, in case that fails for some reason I add the following which prevents the saving of the order meta, priority of 0 causes my action to fire before the built in WP action.
// disable saving of metabox order
add_action('wp_ajax_meta-box-order', 'disable_meta_box_order_save', 0);
function disable_meta_box_order_save() {
wp_die(-1);
}
