catapult stone priority

have you ever noticed that catapulters don't prioritize ammo on closeness? it almost seems like it's whichever rock was excavated most recently.

I hope you also took into account that Z levels aren't taken into account when measuring distance properly.

Also, when a dwarf gets a task to do something (say build a rock coffer) they will grab the nearest item to them when they start the task, which means whatever is closest to them. Of course, after building the first, the next resource is whats closest to the workshop because that's where your dwarf is when it starts the next job in said workshop.
