Modify Listing Listview

I am working on modifying the listing-listview.php file. I am trying to add multiple loops and I sort of have it working but if I try to add orderby to the query it returns nothing.

Here is the top part of my example. If I remove orderby it works. Is there a way to make this work?

  <?php
				$args = array(
			'post_type' => 'gd_place',
			'posts_per_page' => '1',
                        'orderby' => 'rand',

			);

				$query1 = new WP_Query($args);

				if ( $query1->have_posts() ) :

						/**
						 * Called inside the <code>ul</code> of the listings template, but before any <code>li</code> elements.
						 *
						 * When used by the widget view template then it will only show if there are listings to be shown.
						 *
						 * @since 1.0.0
						 * @see 'geodir_after_listing_post_listview'
						 */
						do_action('geodir_before_listing_post_listview');

					while ( $query1->have_posts() ) : $query1->the_post();
