Combine two wp_Querys?

Hello. I’m generally a n00b at strings of php, but I’ve built/tweaked a little bit of code here built to pull a list of posts from a custom post type while simultaneously highlighting the current post title if you’re on that page. The query works, but in order to get it to work I have two $query = new WP_Querys going on, and I’m trying to combined them, just to make everything a little cleaner.

$query = new WP_Query('category_name=' . $category->locations);
// Workaround for Cateogry Variable
$query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'locations', 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'ASC') );

Any suggestions? (FULL code below)

<ul>
	<?php
	$IDOutsideLoop = $post->ID;
	while( have_posts() ) {
		the_post();
		foreach( ( get_the_category() ) as $category )
			$query = new WP_Query('category_name=' . $category->locations);
			// Workaround for Cateogry Variable
			$query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'locations', 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'ASC') );
		if( $query ) {
			while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
				$query->the_post(); ?>
				<li<?php print ( is_single() && $IDOutsideLoop == $post->ID ) ? ' class="current-locale"' : ''; ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?> >
					<a>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

	<?php
			}
		}
	} wp_reset_postdata();
	?>
</ul>

Thanks in advance!
