About Admin Show Sticky
From the official readme · v1.0Description
Adds a new column to the posts table in the admin to display if a post is sticky or not.
Determining what posts are sticky or not should be easier than editing each post or comparing a list of posts displayed on your site to the list in the Edit Posts table in the admin. This plugin will add a new column titled Sticky and place a check mark in this column if the post is Sticky.
Props to Joel Fisher for the idea behind this plugin.
