I’d hate to leave a negative review, but the owner turned off the support function
and provides no method to contact. The Plugin Works, but it doesn’t respect Custom
Post Types. All Stickies in the Posts section become stickies in all other custom
post types. So in our case a Posts Sticky is now showing in our CPT “Forums”

Clean and simple implementation, super easy to use, excellent UI, exactly what I
was looking for. Using native wp functions is the icing on the cake. Love this!
