Wordpress multiple loops with default pagination

Question

I'm trying to list advertisers in 3 categories (custom taxonomy "ad_category") as basic, casual and premium. As default query one page contains 10 results but it should be in order to display premium advertisers at top then casual and basic advertisers at last.

Ex: If I'm having a total of 30 premium and casual ads, the basic ads starts from page 4.

My Codes are:

loop-suppliers-basic.php

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$title = get_term_by('slug', get_query_var('term'), get_query_var('taxonomy') );
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'suppliers',
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'ad_category',
            'field'    => 'slug',
            'terms'    => array('basic_advertiser'),
        ),
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'supplier_categories',
            'field'    => 'slug',
            'terms'    => $title->slug,
        ),
    ),
    'paged' => $paged,
    'orderby' => 'rand'
);

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>

<?php if ($the_query->have_posts()) : while($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

////////// Loop goes here /////////

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

taxonomy-supplier_categories.php

<?php get_template_part('loop-suppliers-premium'); ?>
<?php get_template_part('loop-suppliers-casual'); ?>
<?php get_template_part('loop-suppliers-basic'); ?>
<?php get_template_part('pagination'); ?>

Pagination function

function wp_pagination() { global $wp_query; $big = 999999999; echo paginate_links(array( 'base' => str_replace($big, '%#%', get_pagenum_link($big)), 'format' => '?paged=%#%', 'current' => max(1, get_query_var('paged')), 'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages )); }

This does display in order I want but the pagination goes wrong. Tried using methods like **rewind_posts();*but didn't work.

try now this code

    <?php
$paged = ( get_query_var( 'paged' ) ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
$title = get_term_by('slug', get_query_var('term'), get_query_var('taxonomy') );
$args = array(
    'post_type' => 'suppliers',
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'ad_category',
            'field'    => 'slug',
            'terms'    => array('basic_advertiser'),
        ),
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'supplier_categories',
            'field'    => 'slug',
            'terms'    => $title->slug,
        ),
    ),
    'paged' => $paged,
    'orderby' => 'rand'
);

$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>

<?php if ($the_query->have_posts()) : while($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

////////// Loop goes here /////////

<?php endwhile; ?>

<nav class="pagination">
        <?php pagination_bar( $the_query ); ?>
</nav>
<?php wp_reset_postdata();

endif;



function wp_pagination($wp_query)
{
    $big = 999999999;
    echo paginate_links(array(
        'base' => str_replace($big, '%#%', get_pagenum_link($big)),
        'format' => '?paged=%#%',
        'current' => max(1, get_query_var('paged')),
        'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
    ));
}
