The sticky posts to integrate with the normal posts

Hi. I found an old thread about my problem but it’s closed without getting an answer…

Just like on this thread, I want the sticky posts to be integrated in order of publication with the other entries.

Example:

Post id.5 normal
Post id.4 sticky
Post id.3 normal
Post id.2 sticky
Post id.1 normal

I tried this code but it’s not working:

<?php query_posts($query_string . '&ignore_sticky_post=1&orderby=date&order=DESC'); ?>

Sticky posts are displayed within my recent posts list but they still appear above the list of psts, no way to make the sticky posts appear by ‘date order’. Thanks a lot for your help! ??
