Hi Aureiphi,
The problem is due to having the captions in textboxes. When you do this, the numbering order depends on where the order in which the textbox anchors occur in the document, not on the textbox locations. As you had multiple textboxes anchored to the same physical locations, the anchor order probably reflected the order in which the textboxes had been anchored there. Getting them 'right' in such scenarios can be quite time consuming, involving inserting empty paragraphs, then dragging anchors from one to the other in the correct order.
The better approach is to not put the captions into textboxes in the first place. Indeed, with what you've posted, there's no need for the captions to be put into textboxes, or for the pictures to be given the 'square' layout. I've reformatted it so that the Captions are now in the body of the document and the pictures are formatted as 'in-line with text'. The Caption numbering will now look after itself.
See attached.
