   This is in WP 2.8.5 -- that version isn't currently available in forum dropdown.

   I'm trying to make a category template, showing all the posts in one category with paging to older/newer posts. I also want sticky posts to show up first.

   I had thought this was how query_posts() would work by default. Here's the code I'm using (adapted from the codex):

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   $args=array(
   'category_name'=>'news',
   'paged'=>$paged,
   );
   query_posts($args);
   ?>

   Instead of showing what I intended, this ignores the sticky characteristic and shows the posts in reverse date order. I had thought I needed to include the argument caller_get_posts set to 1 to ignore the sticky setting, but this isn't working that way.

   Am I misunderstanding the codex doc on caller_get_posts and query_posts? Or are sticky posts really not sticky?

   Thanks for your help.

   Sticky posts only work on the home page. A category page is not the home page.
