 * I’m trying to query my custom post type pages with the following URL string, 
   but it doesn’t work:
 *     ```
       http://ghostpool.com/wordpress/mediastore/reviews/?review_categories=&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=ghostpool_hits&order=DESC
       ```
   
 * I’ve managed to get the same query working using query_posts so the query definitely
   works. Does anyone know why it doesn’t work via the URL?
