Needed to build a feature for a Bookstore tool to have an optional sequence number for the Custom Post Type “books” that would allow items with a seq number to float to the top of the list and be sorted by seq #. The rest of the books would show underneath, sorted alphabetically.

SELECT t1.id FROM tableOne t1 LEFT JOIN tableTwo t2 ON t1.id = t2.id WHERE t2.id IS NULL The “WHERE t2.id IS NULL clause” restricts the results to only those rows where the id returned from tableTwo is null. tableTwo.id will be NULL for all records from tableOne where the id is not found in tableTwo.
