Burrow Priority

How does a dorf prioritize moving to an assigned burrow? I put 12 or so in one for the migration culling and it took them months to all arrive.

A burrow doesn't necessarily restrict a dwarf's movement to that burrow. What it does is restrict the dwarf's JOBS to that burrow. My experience has been that if a dwarf has no job to do, he will idle in the meeting hall. It's faster if you can get them to do something in the burrow. Pull a lever or stockpile some wood or something.

Much appreciated. I'll find some menial task that forces them all to go there but doesn't lose me a mechanism.
