Nested loop: foreach category > foreach custom post in that category

  • Hi,
    I’m gonna cut to the chase. The pseudocode looks like this:
    > for each existing category
    > wrap in a slider markup
    > for each custom post type with that category
    > write in slide markup

    Effectively, this should get me as many sliders as categories, with as many slides as custom post types in that category. The code so far outputs all custom category posts in one slider. How can I get a slider for each category?

    <?php $categories=get_categories(); foreach($categories as $category) { ?>

<?php $catname=g et_category( 'Category1'); echo '<p>' . $catname . '</p>'?>

<!-- et_pb_row > container -->
<!-- <a class="arrow-left" href="#">left</a>
							<a class="arrow-right" href="#">right</a> -->

<!-- swiper for each category -->
<div class="swiper-container">
    <div class="swiper-wrapper">

        <!-- query that category -->
        <?php query_posts( 'post_type=human_section&category=' ); ?>

        <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

        <div class="entry-content swiper-slide">
            <?php the_content(); ?>

        </div>
        <!-- .entry-content -->

        <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
        <!-- <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> -->
        <?php rewind_posts(); ?>

    </div>
    <!-- .swiper-wrapper -->
</div>
<!-- .swiper-container -->
<div class="pagination"></div>

<? } // foreach($categories ?>

    I take this pseudocode should look something like this in wp:
    get all categories with custom post type of x
    for each category
    query all posts

    I’m not sure if this is the way to go in WordPress, I take that I have to use foreach to create a slider for each category, and then only I can query all posts in that category. I have problem determining how to use the array in foreach($categories as $category) part, so that I can iterate as one would in JavaScript (ie, for var i etc, and then say some_array[i]). I tried to use -> to get the $category as reference to the array iteration, but no luck. Thanks for willing to help!
