Order custom wordpress loop

I have a WordPress custom loop which looks like this:

$args = array(  
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => 6,
    'meta_key' => 'publication_type',
    'meta_value' => 'uma',
);

This shows 6 posts with publication_type equal to "uma". The publication_type is a field created with Advanced Custom Fields.

I've also created the field publication_year which contains 2019, 2018, 2017,...

How is it possible to order all my posts descending?

The following example doesn't do a thing:

$args = array(  
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => 6,
    'order_by' => 'publication_year',
    'order' => 'DESC'
    'meta_key' => 'publication_type',
    'meta_value' => 'uma',
);

  $args = new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,    
    'meta_query' => array(                                                   
                        array(
                            'key'     => 'publication_type',
                            'value'   => 'uma',
                        ),
                    ),
    'meta_key' => 'publication_year',
    'orderby'   => 'meta_value_num',
    'order' => 'ASC',
 ));
