Sticky Posts not working

Hi!

It’s unfortunately a limitation/bug of wordpress: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/87472/ensuring-sticky-posts-are-retrieved-first-without-using-two-queries

You can try to add following code to the functions.php file of the theme

add_filter('the_posts', 'bump_sticky_posts_to_top');
function bump_sticky_posts_to_top($posts) {
    foreach($posts as $i => $post) {
        if(is_sticky($post->ID)) 
        {
            $stickies[] = $post;
            unset($posts[$i]);
        }
    }
    
    if(!empty($stickies)) 
        return array_merge($stickies, $posts);
    
    return $posts;
}

which is a slightly modified version of the workaround someone posted here: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/87472/ensuring-sticky-posts-are-retrieved-first-without-using-two-queries but it doesn’t work for me very well. Another solution would be to use a plugin like http://wordpress.org/plugins/post-types-order/ which allows you to manually sort the posts but the disadvantage is that you need to check the sort order after you published a new post.
