What are all the available parameters for query_posts?

The WordPress codex page for query_posts states that it does not cover all the parameters which query_posts takes:

Parameters

This is not an exhaustive list yet. It is meant to show some of the more common things possible with setting your own queries

I couldn’t find a reference of all the parameters which are accepted by query_posts, though, even in just a simple list form. Is there a cheat-sheet or something similar available with this data?

Method 1

Below is everything from WordPress 3.0.1 found in the parse_query() function of /wp-includes/query.php (lines 1246-1550).
However, it’s possible for a plugin to add parameters and so a list can never be fully complete:

attachment
attachment_id
author
author_name
cat
category__and
category__in
category__not_in
category_name
comments_popup
day
error
feed
hour
m
minute
monthnum
name
order
orderby
p
page_id

paged
pagename
post__in
post__not_in
post_status
post_type
preview
robots
s
sentence
second
static
subpost
subpost_id
tag__and
tag__in
tag__not_in
tag_id
tag_slug__and
tag_slug__in
tag
taxonomy – (pre 3.1)
tb
term – (pre 3.1)
w

withoutcomments
year
Pre WP 3.1
meta_key
meta_value
Since WP 3.1
fields
meta_query
tax_query

Method 2

If you can read PHP code, you can take a look at the function parse_query($query) in class WP_Query of file wp-includesquery.php

The supported arguments are all listed and managed there.

Method 3

I use the Codex page for WP_Query.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

The list may not be exhaustive but it is useful, fairly comprehensive and up-to-date. I believe that WP_Query and query_posts share the same parameters.
