Thanks MichaelH
This is what I ended up using, it works but the opening and closing of the php doesn’t look correct.
<?php
$args=array(
'orderby' => 'title',
'order' => 'ASC',
'post_parent' => 0,
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'caller_get_posts'=> 1
);
$my_query = null;
$my_query = new WP_Query($args);
if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
// List of Pages (just parent pages)
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><span><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'description', true); ?></span><br /><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>;
<?php endwhile;
}
wp_reset_query(); // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
