Hi.

I had a similar problem where I had a custom post type for FAQ’s and I wanted to put the top five questions at the top then followed by the rest.
I was tearing my hair out before I saw John’s answer above. At least in my case I had to update all the posts after I had created the custom field I wanted to sort against.

It could be even more elaborate I guess but this does the trick for me.

$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'faq',
	'posts_per_page' => -1,
	'meta_key' => 'top_five',
	'orderby' => 'meta_value',
);
