I'm bumping this post because I think this suggestion, if implemented, would save me more time than any other UI or gameplay change I've seen in the forums.  I spend an INORDINATE amount of time hunting for materials when building.  My baby finger literally gets cramped from all the page-downing and down-arrowing through stupid types of blocks:  NO, I DO NOT WANT TO BUILD THIS TOWER OUT OF PEARLASH, STOP ASKING.  A "Last Used" ordering would be amazeballs.

The intruder arose, casting off its black cloak.  "Behold, stunted jesters!  It is I, Scuro!"  A jagged scar marked the goblin's face from eye to chin, his greasy mane gray and wild, and about his neck was the broken silver amulet, strapped together by a leather band.

My DFHack construction plugin already makes much of this possible: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=119369.0

Specifically, moving the last used material to the top of the list and the ability to assign preferred building materials.
