Puts sticky posts at the top of the category archives they belong to, the same way WordPress already does on the blog page.

Code
add_filter( 'the_posts', function ( $posts, $query ) {
if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() || ! $query->is_category() || $query->is_paged() ) {
return $posts;
}
$sticky = array_map( 'absint', (array) get_option( 'sticky_posts', array() ) );
if ( ! $sticky ) {
return $posts;
}
$pinned = get_posts( array(
'post__in' => $sticky,
'category__in' => array( $query->get_queried_object_id() ),
'numberposts' => count( $sticky ),
'ignore_sticky_posts' => true,
'no_found_rows' => true,
) );
if ( ! $pinned ) {
return $posts;
}
$pinned_ids = wp_list_pluck( $pinned, 'ID' );
$others = array_filter( $posts, function ( $post ) use ( $pinned_ids ) {
return ! in_array( $post->ID, $pinned_ids, true );
} );
return array_merge( $pinned, array_values( $others ) );
}, 10, 2 );Notes
Only the first page of each category archive is affected.
