    I’m attempting to query post:

    <?php query_posts(array(‘post_type’ => ‘videos’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘post_views_count’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’,’order’ => ‘DESC’,’showposts’ => 4)); ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    This is not working. Please advise.

    You just need to add:

    'orderby' => 'post_views';

    to any WP query. You can use any other WP_Query parameters as you’d normally do and no meta_key or orderby meta_value is required.
