Reverse post order with 2 loops on a page

    Hi,

    On a page for my record label I have 2 loops on the one page, displaying a custom post type called ‘releases’.
    I’m using the advanced custom fields plugin, and depending on whether a record has a value of out now, or coming soon depends which of the loops it will display in.

    Both loops start like this:

    <?php
// args
$args = array(
	'numberposts' => -1,
	'post_type' => 'releases',
	'meta_key' => 'whether-release',
	'meta_value' => 'outnow'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>

<?php query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC", 'post_type=releases'); ?>
<?php if( $the_query->have_posts() ): ?>
<?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

    The first loop works correctly, however in the second loop on the page, it is displaying in the standard most recent back to oldest order (thus ignoring the &order=ASC )

    I am still learning PHP so if there is a more efficient way to do this that would also be welcome.

    Did I mention I’m still learning php -.-‘

    Fixed:

    <?php
// args
$args = array(
	'numberposts' => -1,
	'post_type' => 'releases',
	'meta_key' => 'whether-release',
	'meta_value' => 'outnow',
	'order' => 'ASC'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
?>

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