 == Bug Report
 === Description
 According to the docs

 > `ignore_sticky_posts` (boolean) – ignore post stickiness (available
 since version 3.1, replaced caller_get_posts parameter). false (default):
 **move sticky posts to the start of the set**. true: do not move sticky
 posts to the start of the set.

 Something feels to be going wrong with `ignore_sticky_posts` behaviour.

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 6.9-alpha-60093-src
 - PHP: 8.2.28
 - Server: nginx/1.27.5
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.5 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.28)
 - Browser: Chrome 135.0.0.0
 - OS: Windows 10/11
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.2
 - MU Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * Test Reports 1.2.0

 === Steps to Reproduce
 1. Install this simple plugin for testing:
 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SirLouen/wp-query-tester/refs/heads/main
 /wp-query-tester.php
 2. Create some posts in this order:
 - First 1 sticky post
 - Second 1 not sticky post
 - Third 1 sticky post
 - Fourth 1 not sticky post

 3. Run the plugin in the menu
 4. 🐞 Bug occurs

 === Expected Results
 1.  ✅ According to the docs, sticky should go first

 === Actual Results
 1.  ❌ Sticky results and the same as regular results.

 === Additional Notes
 This topic is somehow correlated with this issue #63307 just as a
 reference.
