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?
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:

parse_query($query)in classWP_Queryof filewp-includesquery.phpThe supported arguments are all listed and managed there.
I use the Codex page for 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.
