 * So I am working on creating a plugin that adds staff members. I want to be able
   to customize the ordering, instead of just alphabetically.
    I have a custom post
   type for saving the order #, but it doesn’t actually put anything in order. Here
   is what I have so far.
 *     ```
       <?php query_posts( array(
        	'post_type' => 'employees',
        	'posts_per_page' => -1,
        	'orderby' => 'dispord',
        	'order' => 'ASC'
       )
       ); ?>
       ```
   
 * Right now it only sorts by the ascending, but not to the number I assign it to.
   Any suggestions?
