PHPickerViewController Disregards Order Photo is Selected

I use a PHPickerViewController for a user to select profile images. I want the order in which the photos were selected, respected.

However, whenever I return the selected results, the order in which I selected is not reflected.

I've double checked my config, but no solution has worked and would appreciate any guidance that does not involve using a 3rd party! Apple Documentation states simply setting the .selection property to .ordered should respect the user's selected order, but it does not!! documentation

//Setup code
    
    var config = PHPickerConfiguration()    
    config.selectionLimit = 3
        config.filter = .images
        config.selection = .ordered
        
        let picker = PHPickerViewController(configuration: config)
        picker.delegate = self

//Delegate handler

    func picker(_ picker: PHPickerViewController, didFinishPicking results: [PHPickerResult]) {
                    
    guard !results.isEmpty else {
        picker.dismiss(animated: true)
        return
    }
    
    self.photos = []
    
    var tempImages: [Int: UIImage] = [:]
    let dispatchGroup = DispatchGroup()
    
    for (index, result) in results.enumerated() {
         
         dispatchGroup.enter() // Enter the group

         result.itemProvider.loadObject(ofClass: UIImage.self) { [weak self] object, error in
             defer { dispatchGroup.leave() }

             guard let self = self else { return }

             if let image = object as? UIImage {
                 
                 tempImages[index] = image
             }
         }
     }
    
    dispatchGroup.notify(queue: .main) { [weak self] in
                                
        guard let self = self else { return }
        
        for index in 0..<tempImages.keys.count {
            
            if let image = tempImages[index] {
                                    
                self.photos?.append(image)
            }
        }
    }
            
    picker.dismiss(animated: true)
}

Hello @ccynn22,

In my experience, the order of the the results does match the selection order if you specify the ordered selection behavior. If you are seeing the images "out-of-order", I suspect that there may be an issue somewhere in your code. There isn't enough code here for me to spot the issue, could you provide a full sample project that reproduces the issue?
