 * Does anyone know how to list these posts alphabetically? I’ve tried a number 
   of things and nothing seems to work?
 * I also need 2 posts excluding so if anyone knows how to do that also it would
   be great.
 * Code:
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts( array('cat' => $category_id,'posts_per_page'=>'-1', 'orderby'=> 'title', 'order' => 'ASC')); ?>
       		<ul id="ulposts2">
       		<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
       		    echo '<li';
       		    if (($ID = get_the_ID()) == $pagepostid) echo ' class="proadv-current-item"';
       		    //else echo ' class="post-id'.$ID.'-id'.$pagepostid.'"';
       		    echo '>';
                   echo '<div class="sponsor-thumb">';
                   the_post_thumbnail( 'category-thumb' );
                   echo '</div>';
       		    echo '<a href="'.get_permalink().'">';
       		    the_title();
       		    echo '</a>';
       		    echo '';
       		endwhile; ?>
   
       		<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
       ```
