Perhaps something like the following?

{PrimeQ[#], #} & /@ Range[30]

Out[8]= {{False, 1}, {True, 2}, {True, 3}, {False, 4}, {True, 5}, {False,
  6}, {True, 7}, {False, 8}, {False, 9}, {False, 10}, {True,
  11}, {False, 12}, {True, 13}, {False, 14}, {False, 15}, {False,
  16}, {True, 17}, {False, 18}, {True, 19}, {False, 20}, {False,
  21}, {False, 22}, {True, 23}, {False, 24}, {False, 25}, {False,
  26}, {False, 27}, {False, 28}, {True, 29}, {False, 30}}
