<txp:article status="live, sticky" />, or lack thereof

This topic seems to come up every once in a while. Working on my new site was the first time it’s really caused a problem, though.

I need to display a number of articles, some of them sticky and some of them live. This is easy enough to do by using two tags (eg, <txp:article status="live" /><txp:article status="live" />). But I need to display all the articles in the order posted, which means that some sticky articles need to appear after some of the live articles. Supporting multiple statuses in <txp:article /> would solve this, except this feature doesn’t exist.

Is there a quick and easy solution for this? Because of how stuff is organised on the site, I need to mix sticky and live posts — using categories to separate the posts isn’t an option.

Disregard. I managed to use a custom field with article_custom to separate out the content I needed.

makss’ aks_article supports multiple stati in one tag.
