Probably a couple of ways to approach that. Can try building multiple separate
arrays and use a common key that would apply to all of the arrays you need to
pull information from. Maybe using "varbugId" as the key if it is unique enough,
or create an indexed array so everything is in the right order across all the
arrays.

As another option, multidimensional arrays are useful for storing an array into
another array and may be easier to manage.
