0004932: Dwarves try to equip armor in order of its production instead of in order specified by uniform

Greaves Layer_size 12, Layer_permit 4 Trousers Layer_size 5, Layer_permit 18 Produce 5 sets of leather trousers, then produce 5 sets of metal greaves. You will find that it is impossible to get your dwarves to wear both, resulting in some incredibly painful pinching. Now dump the trousers and produce 5 new leather trousers. Your military squad will now wear both. Maybe the game keeps track of this information in an array, and just adds new values as they are produced...? Incidentally, you can fix this whole mechanic in the raws by just changing all the items to [LAYER_SIZE:10] [LAYER_PERMIT:20]. That way no matter what order, you can just equip two items on every body part. And Shaped will prevent armor spamming anyway. Depending on how much armor you want to stuff on a body part (Helm/Cap/Hood, etc), you can increase permit. Or just do [LAYER_SIZE:1] [LAYER_PERMIT:20] and stuff 20 cloaks and win the game.
