Querying Top posts of a Custom Post Type

  • Hello dear Huseyin and thanks for this super useful plugin.

    Ratings for my custom post types work well, except when I want to query top rated ones of a post type.
    The following code doesn’t acknowledge the favorite meta thingies. would you please help me with the code? 

    <?php
    $custom_query = new WP_Query(array(
        'post_type' => 'idea',
        'post-meta' => 'wpfp_favorites',
        'showposts'=>2,
        'meta_key' => 'wpfp_favorites',
        'orderby'  => 'post-meta',
        'order' => 'DESC',
 ));

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

			<!-- Content Template -->
				<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'idea' ); ?>

			<!-- Content Template -->

						<?php endwhile; ?>
						<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
						<?php twentythirteen_paging_nav(); ?>
						<?php endif; ?>

    –Thanks in advance
