In my experience, grouped objects maintain their relative order, but their
positions relative to objects outside the group will change, since the group
is placed on top of other objects by default when it is created.
If you address objects relative to the group things should be fine, using
something like:
get the long id of image 1 of grp "MyGroup"
One of the amazing niceties about MC is that when you ungroup objects to
work on them and then regroup them again, most of the time the original
group name is retained -- one less step to worry about.
