I understand. Would you review an implementation done by me? I could only provide text for the new option in German and English though.

Thanks for the response, @supercleanse, that is good news. I will certainly look out for that new version and reconsider my review once I notice changes.

I see! That is indeed a confusing name, because it is not the posts that get ignored but their “stickiness”, yet the language of the option name is a valid English sentence (in the imperative) whose subject are the (sticky) posts. Since it now looks like this option was taken from somewhere in the core, I realise that this is not the place to complain about that, but it is one of many examples of sloppy naming in WordPress. Thanks for the clarification!

Here is a suggested wording for the table in https://getshortcodes.com/docs/posts/

ignore_sticky_posts – Set to “yes” to prevent sticky posts from being moved to the start of the returned list of posts. They are still included, but appear in regular order.

Also, I would be very happy to see “exclude_sticky_posts” being implemented because I think it a need that does occur occasionally, if the posts shortcode is used on a page that features some posts outside the list and a list of other posts using the shortcode.
