HI, NEED HELP WITH TOP POSTS SHORTCODE

HI I AM UNABLE TO FIND ANY KIND OF COMPLETE EXAMPLES OR DOCUMENTATION ON THE NEED I AM HAVING, I REALLY HOME YOU CAN HELP ME… I HAVE JUST BECOME A PAYING CUSTOMER AND I LOVE YOUR WORK BUT THERES IS ONE THING I NEED (I AM NOT AN EXPERIENCED USER):

I NEED TO SHOW A CUSTOM POST TYPE LIST ORDERED BY THE BETTER RANKED (BY WP ULIKE), AND OTHER FOR THE WORST… I AM THINKING THE FIEST 5 AND THE LAST 5… SO I HAVE READ READ AND READ BUT DON NOT UNDERSTAND (I AM SORRY FOR MY LIMITED EXPERIENCE) SO I WAS THINKING TO PUT A CODE IN THEME FUNCTIONS SO I CAN CREATE A SHORTCODE THAT GIVES ME SOMETHING LIKE THIS….. [wpulike_posts type=”positive” posts_per_page=”5″ post_type=”prop” show_votes=”yes” order=”DESC”]

THE PART OF THE CODE IN THE FUNCTIONS THEME IS THE TRICKY ONE:

if  ( ! function_exists( 'wp_ulike_posts' ) ):
	function wp_ulike_posts( $atts ) {

		$return = '';

		// Parameters accepted

		extract( shortcode_atts( array(
			'include_posts' => '',
			'exclude_posts' => '',
			'type' => 'positive',
			'posts_per_page' => 5,
			'category' => '',
			'show_votes' => 'yes',
			'post_type' => 'any',
			'show_both' => 'no',
			'order' => 'DESC',
			'orderby' => 'meta_value_num'
		), $atts ) );

		// Check wich meta_key the user wants

		if( $type == 'positive' ){

				$meta_key = 'ulike_meta';
				$sign = "+";
				$other_sign = "-";
		}
		else{
				$meta_key = 'udislike_meta';
				$sign = "-";
				$other_sign = "+";
		}

		// Build up the args array

	  $args = array (
	    'post_type'				=> $post_type,
			'post_status'			=> 'publish',
			'cat'					=> $category,
			'pagination'			=> false,
			'posts_per_page'		=> $posts_per_page,
			'cache_results'			=> true,
			'meta_key'				=> $meta_key,
			'order'					=> $order,
			'orderby'				=> $orderby,
			'ignore_sticky_posts'	=> true
		);

		// Has to be done this way, or the query will return 0 results

		if ($exclude_posts) {
			$args['post__not_in'] = explode(",", $exclude_posts);
		}

		if ($include_posts) {
			$args['post__in'] = explode(",", $include_posts);
		}

		// Get the posts

		$wp_ulike_posts_query = new WP_Query($args);

		// Build the post list

		if($wp_ulike_posts_query->have_posts()) :

			$return .= '<ol>';

			while($wp_ulike_posts_query->have_posts()){

				$wp_ulike_posts_query->the_post();

				$return .= '<li>';

				$return .= '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a>';

				if( $show_votes == "yes" ){

					// Get the votes

					$meta_values = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), $meta_key);

					// Add the votes to the HTML

						$return .= ' (' . $sign;

						if( sizeof($meta_values) > 0){

							$return .= $meta_values[0];

						}else{

							$return .= "0";
						}

						// Show the other votes if needed

						if( $show_both == 'yes' ){

							$other_meta_values = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), $other_meta_key);

							$return .= " " . $other_sign;

							if( sizeof($other_meta_values) > 0){

								$return .= $other_meta_values[0];

							}else{

								$return .= "0";
							}
						}

						$return .= ')';

					}
				}

				$return .= '</li>';

			$return .= '</ol>';

			// Reset the post data or the sky will fall

			wp_reset_postdata();

		endif;

		return $return;
	}

	add_shortcode( 'wp_ulike_posts_top', 'wp_ulike_posts' );
endif;
