How to order listing by custom field (ex: by price)

Hello,

I just discovered how to order the list of properties by price (or any custom field).

Did it like that in themes/xxxx/archive-listing.php

if(get_post_type()=='rental')
            { $meta_key_order = 'property_rent'; }
            else
            { $meta_key_order = 'property_price'; }

// query
            $the_query = new WP_Query(array(
                'post_type'			=> get_post_type(),
                'posts_per_page'	=> -1,
                'meta_key'			=> $meta_key_order, // meta_key to order
	            'orderby'			=> 'meta_value_num', // meta_value_num the way to order (numeric not alphabetic)
                'order'				=> 'ASC'
            ));

			//while(have_posts()): the_post();
            while( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
				// here your tpl continue...
