If you grab my CG-PowerPack, it contains CG-PostOrder which does sticky functionality as well. It allows you to select which posts to sticky/unsticky from the ‘normal site view’ rather than an admin page (well, for logged-in admins!), and then uses a custom admin panel for ‘post-ordering’ between sticky posts (so you can force one to be above another regardless of their two timestamps…).
Let me know if you need help trying it out — I’m looking to improve the user interface and interaction and need more feedback.

Hello David,
I have downloaded your CG powerpack – thanks.
I activated the plugin as instructed and could see the new “post order” tab in the admin panel.
However, when i clicked on it, i received a “no input file found”. i noticed that the link for the “post order” page was
xxx/wp-admin/plugins/cg-plugins ??
So i moved your folder to that directory. i refreshed the page and saw a message about “no table found” … click here to create a new table.
I did that and it completed without errors.
I then when to my website …. at first there were some errors.. which i cant recall now :-p ..
Eventually, i removed the plugins folder from wp-admin and started again. This time (perhaps as the table was created) .. it worked fine.
The problem i am having now is that i can click on posts and make them sticky. I can see that the post title changes to “Sticky xxxxx” … but it does not move them to the top ????
if i click on post order in the admin panel, i can see all the posts that i have made sticky … the post order for all of them is 1.
Can you tell me how i can move the “stickys” to be at the top of all other posts.

Currently they are sorted by date.
I am running 1.5 wordpress on Win2k3 with IIS6.
Thanks
