   Hi there,

   I am working on a site where I want to use multiple loops to request (Flutter) data.
   I use the folowing code several times to load data in multiple columns:

   <?php
   query_posts('category_name=item1');
   if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post();
   echo get('column1');
   endwhile;
   endif;
   ?>

   This code works fine now but I read that you maybe should use <?php rewind_posts(); ?> before each new loop on the same page.
   Does anybody now if this is necessary and why?

   Regards,

   Niels

   you would use 'rewind_posts()' if you want to re-use the same query for the second loop;
   it is neither needed nor useful if you use a new query for the second loop.

   for other than the main loop, it is advisable to use WP_Query() or get_posts().

   in case you haven't read this yet, general info:
