Making a post Sticky in a CATEGORY

[TopResults]

I am using the Copyblogger child theme. My menu is 4 pages plus 2 categories. I would like to know how to make the first post in each of the categories (NOT the site's static front page) 'sticky'.

These 2 categories represent 2 products (I will add another couple later) and I just want the first post to aways be at the top of subsequent posts within each category.

I suspect this might mean fiddling with the Copyblogger theme code, which is WAY beyond my ability. ANybody have any ideas - or would be interested in quoting for creating a custom solution?

Thanks

Adrian

Hi Adrian.

There are a couple of plugins which I think might do what you want;

Peter - that is EXACTLY what I was looking for!  Works like a dream. Thanks SO MUCH for the links.

hi

I tried these plugins with my child theme and neither worked

[i have PAGES set up with a custom field  query_args and the value set cat=whatever the category ID is -- so they shown posts from a specific category]

is there anything i need to remove or add in the Genesis themes options to correct this or is there another reason why they would not work?

one of the pages is here - http://www.oldconna.com/members-section/competition-results/

thanks
