   Hello,

   Do anyone know if it is possible with using query_posts to priority/order by posts that have thumbnail?

   I have manage to sort out the once that have thumbnail but then I do not get the once that does not. So I still want posts that have thumbnail and the once that does not just that the once that have thumbnail should be priority.

   Thanks!

   No - there's no parameter for post_thumbnail.

   Thanks for your answer Esmi.
   Is there a alternative way for doing this?

   Thanks!

   You have to grab the post that you want and then run the results through some custom code that sorts the returned array of posts based on whether they have a post thumb or not.

   Here is the solution I used for this issue:

   //Post per page
   $post_per_page = 10;
   //Get all that have thumbnail
   query_posts($query_string."&posts_per_page=".$post_per_page."&meta_key=_thumbnail_id&orderby=meta_value&order=DESC");
   $posts = $wp_query->post_count;
   //Loop
   if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   
   	//Content
   
   endwhile; endif;
   
   //Get the rest
   if($posts<$post_per_page) {
   	$showPoster = $post_per_page-$posts;
   	query_posts($query_string."&posts_per_page=".$showPoster."&order=DESC");
   	//Loop
   	if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   
   	//Content
   
   	endwhile; endif;
   
   }
