Comment:

 Moving to 3.7 for more discussion

 Here is what currently happens:

 1. Posts are queried
 1. If the result set contains stickies, those stickies are arbitrarily
 moved to the top
 1. If there are stickies that weren't queried, and they don't appear in
 `post_not__in`, extra stickies are queried and shoved between the stickies
 at the top and the rest of the post
 1. No "order" is even considered

 What [attachment:9978.diff 9978.diff] does:

 1. Posts are queried
 1. If the result set contains stickies, those stickies are removed from
 the results
 1. All stickies that aren't in `post_not__in` are queried in `get_posts()`
 with the args `order` and `orderby` passed
 1. All stickies are placed at the top after returning ordered
 1. Profit.

 Also of note, no stickies are currently added to `$this->posts` when
 `fields` is passed as an arg - expected behavior?
