When going to equip your military a couple of suggestions...

1. Have boots/gloves show up as a pair.  When you queue up, make two of them.  When equipping them, select once and dwarf takes a pair.
2. More importantly, on the equip screen, make it so ONLY the available items are listed.  Scrolling through four or fives screens of boots or gloves that are already in use by another dwarf in not needed.

3. If you cannot group up by pair (#1) then can you at least make it sort by matching sets (This would be in military or trading screens)?  Nothing so frustrating as having to search for that matching "Cured leather jaguar right mitten" that is on the next page from the matching "left mitten" you just selected.

1. already happens or so I'm told, but it'd be nice if it was clear about it. I still go by 2's when making generalist uniforms just to be on the safe side.

2. Would make equipping the militia, especially if a caravan is visiting, much more tolerable. It's painful trying to find a particular weapon or helmet when there's a pile of helmets  you don't even own cluttering up the lists. If equipped by another dwarf or in caravan ownership, no show on the list. Suddenly selecting custom shit for your commanders and such becomes a million times easier.

Non-artifact gloves/boots are produced in pairs. They aren't guaranteed to be of the same quality. Assigning non-specific boots/gloves on the military screen gives you a pair. Selecting individual items gives you just one boot/glove. This is IMO ideal, but the player needs more feedback as to what is going on. It should specify a "pair of x" when that's what you get.

The list sorting could be better, but I don't think pairing should be automatic for the specific items list. That would be a loss of control for the player.
