   How do i use the role of the author in wordpress loop and wp_query?

   I want to restrict (or include) authors on various wordpress pages (home and category pages) by the wp_role the author has.

   So, I need to know how to do this in both:
   1.) query posts (for homepage)
   2.) wp_query (for other pages)
   I would like to do this in the most efficient manner possible.

   e.g. On my homepage:
   a.) Restrict contributor posts from display.

   e.g. On my category pages:
   a.) Posts order by (Editors first, Authors second, Contributors last)

   I looked on the query post and wp_query and had no luck finding the way to do it.

   Thanks

   So, basically I know it involves something like this:
   Sorry, I'm not familiar with php yet.

   foreach post in posts:
   (list) homepage_posts
   if post.author.role != contributor:
   homepage_posts.add(post)

   thanks anybody for help.
