Hmmm, what if instead of a list of radioboxes which looks ilke so:

    Sticky Position: () Sticky 1
                        Currently: 1618 (No Subject)
                     () Sticky 2

Use textboxes and emphasize the subject instead:

    [ ] Make Sticky Entry
    (expanded section)
    [ 1 ] this entry
    [ 2 ] (No Subject) - 1618
    [ 3 ] Some entry with a subject

With the assumption / default being that we want to make this entry be the topmost sticky entry, and an option to reorder.

Actually, for simplicity's sake, how do you feel about just having:

    [ ] Sticky to top of journal/community
    
And if that's checked, then expand to show a link to the accounts page to reorder, with some indication that this will become the topmost. That might balance the desire to keep the flow simple with the ability to have some flexibility.
