Is it possible to change the orderby option by 'likes'

Hello and thank you for the great plugin and the detailed documentation.

I need something a bit specific for my case. I have posts with likes and i want the orderby to be focused on this meta_value, so the the results will be ordered by rating.
My wp_postmeta has a meta_key => post_likes and meta_value => the numbers of the likes.
Usually i would use :

$args = array(
            'post_status' => 'publish',
            'post_type' => 'listing',
            'meta_key' => 'client_feedback_score',
            'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
            'order' => 'DESC'
        );

But as I added your search plugin (because I need more advanced options) I start wandering how to implement this code in yours. Have already spent few hours in reading your code but my knowledge is quite limited when it is about advanced WordPress/php code.

Could you please give me any hint if I can do any modifications and how so i can manage the task with displaying the most liked posts first.

Thanks in advanced.
