 Stickies are a nightmare. See #23336. See also

 Allowing the order in which stickies are returned to be affected by
 `'order'`/`'orderby'` seems to me like a change in expected behavior. The
 way I've seen stickies used, displaying in the order in which they were
 stuck seems like it more closely reflects the intent of the sticker, which
 is to say that they want to show things that they most recently thought
 were notable.

 My inclination would be to leave the current query behavior as-is, and
 improve the sticky UI so that people can manually choose the order in
 which they appear.

 The issue of pagination counts, and what happens when a post appears in
 the original results vs when it doesn't, is covered by #27282.
