What is the right way to present custom post type in WordPress?

Question

PRECONDITION:

1. I created custom post type "comparison"
2. I created 'widget.php' and registered it in 'functions.php'
3. I added widget to 'front-page.php'

TASK: On my Front Page and I want to list all posts with type "comparison" in separate widget with pagination

PROBLEM: I don't know the 'best practice', how to implement it technically. How to list all "comparison" in widget?

Here is the custom post template code, You can assign the template on the page you want to display the posts list. You can try with below template code:

<?php 
# Template Name: Comparison List 
?>

<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array( 
          'posts_per_page' => 15, 
          'paged' => $paged, 
          'post_type' => 'comparison', 
          'orderby' => 'title', 
          'order' => 'asc' 
        );
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php if ($wp_query->have_posts()) : ?>

    <?php while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>

        <?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'comparison-list-item' ); ?>

    <?php endwhile; ?>

    <?php print_pagination($wp_query); ?>

<?php else: ?>

<?php get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'nothing-found' ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
