Order by meta_key with two meta_queries

You can do this using WP_Query since 3.1 with a meta_query.

$args = array(
    'meta_key' => '_count-views_all',
    'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
    'order' => $sortOrder,
    'posts_per_page' => 9,
    'paged' => $paged,
    'meta_query' => array(
        'relation'  => 'OR'
        array(
            'key'     => 'contributorid1',
            'value'   => $id,
            'compare' => '='
        ),
        array(
            'key'     => 'contributorid2',
            'value'   => $id,
            'compare' => '='
        )
    )
);

$query = new WP_Query( $args );
