<ul>
<li>Sticky posts are ordered the same way as non-sticky posts.</li>
<li>Sticky posts do not reappear on subsequent pages.</li>
<li>The first page of home will contain exactly the requested number of posts, rather than the requested number of posts plus the number of sticky posts.</li>
<li>Allows more than one page of sticky posts.</li>
</ul>
<p>Simply injects the sticky post IDs into the actual mySQL order by clause,<br />
causing posts to be ordered by sticky status then by what ever order is<br />
specified, usually post_date DESC, and not to repeat on subsequent pages.<br />
I can’t actually figure out why it isn’t done like this by WP, perhaps<br />
earlier versions of mySQL don’t support this. WP’s default sticky ordering<br />
craziness is turned off by returning an empty array for the next call to<br />
get_option(‘sticky_posts’) which happens in WP_Query->get_posts().</p>
<p>There is currently a ticket awaiting review on the WordPress trac system to roll this functionality into the WordPress core: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21986</p>
