Tried this code for form:

function jma_practitioner_form() {
    $form = '<form method="get" action="' . home_url( '/' ) . '">
		<div class="input-group" style="max-width: 250px">
			<input type="text" class="form-control search-input" name="s" placeholder="Practitioner Search" />
			<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="practitioner" />
			<input type="hidden" name="meta_key" value="last_name" />
			<input type="hidden" name="orderby" value="meta_value_num" />
			<input type="hidden" name="order" value="ASC" />
			<span class="input-group-btn">
				<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit" style="padding: 6px 15px;">
					<i class="fa fa-search"></i>
				</button>
			</span>
		</div>
	</form>';

    return $form;
}
add_shortcode( 'practitioner_search', 'jma_practitioner_form' );

The search functionality works and it is limited to my custom post type, but ordering doesn’t work.
thx,
John
