Hello,

I have checked the plugin you mentioned above, it is using a custom field "views" to store the post view count value, see the source code of plugin file wp-postviews.php, line 119:

update_post_meta( $id, 'views', ( $post_views + 1 ) );

but I am not sure why it is not working in your website.

Same as it, I suggest you try to find another plugin, which is using custom field to store the view count value, then you will be able to setup Views filter by the custom field and order by the custom field, for example:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/view+count/
