    I have a functioning loop for a staff page that is pulling all current staff and displaying them in alphabetical order by last name.

    I need to have a single staff member, the company owner, listed first on the page and then have the loop run to pull the rest of the staff members.

    try working with another independant query or with get_post() and exclude this post in your main query;

    Thank you Michael – I thought about multiple loops, but not sure if this will fit my solution as the content displayed needs to be all in rows – I need the owner listed as the first result in row 1 and then the rest of the employees listed out after in multiple rows. Here is what I have currently:

                        <div class="row team-row">
                        <?php add_filter( 'posts_orderby', 'posts_orderby_lastname' );
                            $loop = new WP_Query( array(
                            'post_type' => 'team',
                            'location'  => $location->slug
                            ) );
                        ?>

                        <?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

                            <div class="col-md-2 team-member">
                                <?php the_post_thumbnail('medium'); ?>
                                <h3 class="entry-title"><?php the_title( '' ); ?></h3>
                                <span class="team-position"><?php the_field('position'); ?></span><br />
                                <span class="team-phone"><?php the_field('phone'); ?></span><br />

                                <button class="btn btn-small team-btn" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#team-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
                                    View Bio
                                </button>

                                <div class="modal fade" id="team-<?php the_ID(); ?>" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="team-<?php the_ID(); ?>Label" aria-hidden="true">
                                    <div class="modal-dialog">
                                        <div class="modal-content">
                                            <div class="modal-header">
                                                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"><span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button>
                                                <h4 class="modal-title" id="team-<?php the_ID(); ?>Label"><?php the_title( '' ); ?></h4>
                                            </div>
                                            <div class="modal-body">
                                                <div class="entry-content">
                                                    <?php the_content(); ?>
                                                </div>
                                            </div>
                                            <div class="modal-footer">
                                                <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
                                            </div>

                                    </div>
                                </div>
                            </div>
                        <?php endwhile; ?>
