Please explain further as to why you would do this.

You have your list "global data" that contains everything you need to reference photos and titles, and indexes appear to be the same.
It could be you just need an additional identifier in your data...

Please show a sample of your raw data coming from the google sheet (your "csv")

cardview extension?

OK I have an example solution for you. i have used a set of data and images on a google sheet. You can test the example aia for functionality and to access the blocks. Aia attached after post edit.
This required some complex list manipulation! In essence:
  1. Get your masterList of data
  2. Create lists of all the cardview elements: images, titles, subtitles, content
  3. Convert these lists to lists of 3
  4. Combine these 4 lists to one list of lists in sets of 3
  5. Work through the final list of lists to view the card view in sets of three
This will probably break if your eventual list is not in threes
The cardview extension is not ideal, you have no control over image dimensions / alignment or cardview alignment
You may have more luck trying the colintreeListview extension
