 * 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.

    Is there a alternative way for doing this?

 * 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;
   
       }
       ```
