   Hi there!

   I'm building a record label website and I'm stuck in a loop error. Hopefully someone can help me out with this. I am losing my mind.

   In a pod ("artists") I want to pull all one artist's albums from another pod ("releases") through the bi-directional field ("releases_conn").
   Everything works out fine except the images ("releases_img") shows up in the wrong order in the for loop.

   Code:

   if (is_array($release_conn)) {
   echo '<h3>Releases</h3>';
   echo '<ul>';
   for ($i=0; $i<count($release_conn); $i++)
   {
       $rl = $release_conn[$i];
       // Check if compilation (various artists)
       if ($rl['compilation'] == 1) { $release_title = $rl['name']." (Various Artists)"; } else { $release_title = $rl['name']; }
   
       $thumb = $artists->get_field('release_conn.releases_img');
       $thumb = $thumb[$i];
       // Get thumbnail image size
       $size = 'thumbnail';
       if(!empty($thumb)) {
       $attachment_id = $thumb['ID'];
       $sized = image_downsize($attachment_id,$size);
   
       echo '<li>';
       if(is_array($sized)) {
       echo '<a href="releases/'.$rl[slug].'/"><img src="'.$sized[0].'" alt="'.$release_title.'"></a><br />'; }
       }
       echo '<p><a title="'.$release_title.'" href="releases/'.$rl[slug].'/">'.$release_title.'</a><br />'.$rl['releases_format'].' ('.date("Y", strtotime($rl['releases_releasedate'])).')</p></li>';
   
   }
   echo '</ul>';
   }

   The images shows up in a different order than the other info. I guess it's not correct to pull this inside the for loop as :

   $thumb = $artists->get_field('release_conn.releases_img');
   $thumb = $thumb[$i];

   But I don't know what else to do.
   I need to connect the image files [guid] to the correct pod item (ID).
   Please help!

   Thanks!

   You can use the second field in get_field to order by a specific id, but I recommend using while($artists->fetchRecord()) to loop through the data, and pull in the release_conn Pod as it's own loop instead of using $release_conn - then you could ensure everything is connected correctly and ordered in the way you'd like.
