Comment:

 Not sure what the current status is here, but I would like to see the
 option of adding "sticky" to CPT. I have created a CPT for Testimonials
 and the option to show one as sticky would be greatly beneficial. I would
 argue that not all items that would be used as sticky should just be a
 standard post. While I could use posts and create a category named
 Testimonials, this would be more complicated than a nicely setup
 Testimonials interface for the end user.

 If you look at the ever popular Book/Movie custom post type examples, I
 could see the application of a "Featured Book" or "Featured Movie" in
 which the sticky feature would be of great benefit. And yes, we could also
 use custom fields to manage this, but again, this is more complicated than
 just a checkbox to make it sticky. That's why the feature was added to
 begin with, because it was popular and this was easier than developers
 always using custom fields to make this happen (very complicated for the
 casual user.)

 Please reconsider this as an added feature. I do think it would have great
 benefits to developers and users, as well as bring consistency from
 standard WP posts to custom post types for the same features.
