How to Change Loop to Order Posts by Views (using wp-postviews plugin)

Just wanted to give an update. Someone was kind enough to show me how to update the code I posted above. It turned out to be quite simple (if you know what you’re doing!). So I have posted it below for anyone that wants to do something similar. 

<?php $posts_per_page = get_query_var('posts_per_page'); ?>
<?php $paged = intval(get_query_var('paged')); ?>
<?php $paged = ($paged) ? $paged : 1; ?>
<?php $args = array(
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'paged' => $paged,
'more' => $more = 0,
'meta_key' => 'views',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
); ?>
<?php query_posts($args); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post() ;?>
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
