If I sneak attack a Gleancrawler into play, at end of turn, would I be able to stack the Gleancrawlers ability under all sacrifices from sneak attack, allowing me to return all of the creatures snuck into play?
you control all the triggers, so you can stack them however you want (save or not save...maybe you have a dragon that wants to die). note, that the gleancrawler needs to survive to EOT or nothing good will happen.

I am looking for Date Stamped promos from Khans of Tarkir block so I can finish my set. Check my wants if you have any.

[nitpick]The creature will still die, so even if you have a dragon, it will still die and trigger in yard before the gleancrawler brings it back.[/nitpick]
The rest of the answer is correct. If you stack the triggers so the sneak attack's sacrifice trigger resolves before the gleancrawler's return trigger, you will get the creature back into your hand. (This means stacking the sacrifice trigger on top.)
This works because the gleancrawler only cares about what creatures were put into your graveyard from play this turn when it resolves, so if something (like in this scenario) puts something into your graveyard from play while the trigger is on the stack, it will still return it.
So if the Gleancrawler were also snuck out, you couldn't stack it so that his sneak death trigger resolved after his return-to-hand trigger brought back all the other creatures?
If you put Gleancrawler's trigger on the stack first, then all the delayed triggers from the Sneak Attack, all creatures that were 'snuck' into play are first sacrificed and then returned by the Gleancrawler, including the Gleancrawler itself. This is because the ability only checks which creatures went to the graveyard on resolution and doesn't care if its source is still in play.
You can do it three ways:
1. first stack gleancrawler's trigger, then stack all the sneak attack triggers. This will (usually, barring any interference) result in all the sneak attacked creatures ending up in play.
2. first stack all the sneak attack triggers, then stack gleancrawler's trigger. This will result in all the sneak attacked creatures sitting in the graveyard.
3. first stack some of the sneak attack triggers, then stack gleancrawler's trigger, then stack the rest of the sneak attack triggers. This will result in all the creatures that got their respective sneak triggers stacked last put back into play, and all the creatures that got their sneak triggers stacked first sitting in the graveyard. This could be important if there are some creatures that you want in your graveyard (wonder, etc.), but you want the rest of them in your hand.
Also, no matter how you do it, all the creatures will hit the graveyard. This means that dragon triggers resolve, and guys like mr. 11/11 will get shuffled back into your library.

What in the name of all that's holy are you smoking????
damn... so that means you could stack glean's trigger, sac him to miren, the moaning well and get him back in your hand at EoT?
Not that mana efficient of course, but if glean was pacified or something anyways, you could swing him back and that = sweetness.
Yes. The trigger on the stack returns all dead dudes, and if the trigger is on the stack and glean dies before it resolves, it notices glean in the yard and gives him back to you.

I think you mean "PoN", but it seems to me that "PwN" is more appropriate
(the 'w' stands for 'win', I think)

I think that WoTC felt that a lot of the players thought Standard was becoming mundane and a joke from all the nuked cards floating around. R&D took a vacation, and MaRo just started reprinting things.

I don't care if I was framed for murder if I only got a warning I would let it go.
