Well, the preamble does say:
IMHO, you would do better to use the first macro, then simply replace the captions it creates with whatever text you want to use. As it is, there is no automatic way for the macro to ensure the pictures are inserted into the table in the order you desire.

Accordingly, you might be interested in the version found here: https://www.msofficeforums.com/148668-post5.html.
That code allows you to create the table and insert the desired captions from a list in Excel, giving you complete control over both the order the images are inserted and the captions applied to them..
