Describe to us the issue that you're having:
I'm using EssentialsChat for chat formatting, also for the prefix, but these only work when I use setgroup, I need addgroup..

Example: When someone donates for group [VIP2], he's supposed to get this tag and a special assigned chat color.
When the same guy later on donates for [VIP1], he's supposed to still have the VIP2 tag and chat color, because he paid more for VIP2.

EssentialsChat prefix & chat color works when I use setgroup though, but that would reset a higher donator rank :/
How can I set a priority to my groups?

It looks like donator2 already inherits from donator1

I agree, everything seems set up correctly, so either theres a bug happening, something is being cached or your setting the group for a different world.

edit: how does essentials know which group you are in for the prefix? is there a permission node or does it use vault, the problem may lie here if setgroup is working.

@ryan_the_leach: Go

I have no idea, ask essentials.

I know it works with EVERY OTHER chat plugin though.

essentialschat gets the first set group, is by donating you get a user with 2 groups? paste the users.yml
