When performing a series of trades (especially with the human caravan) I'd like the ability to filter out anything I've traded to them from their list of offerings.  This needs to be toggleable - if a noble decides on a last minute export ban I need to be able to get traded items back, but otherwise I have no interest in viewing what I've traded to him.  

Note that while a "made here" check/filter would also be nice (and the current color coding of that flag does help), you still have a problem when trading a mass of large/narrow clothing looted from a broken goblin siege. However a "dwarf useable" filter toggle in combination with a "made here" toggle would deliver >95% of the filtering needed.  

Excellent work on the Trade UI by the way - it is much improved from the earlier version.

You might wind up with extra tantrums as a side effect of this - if the scavengers make off with masterwork equipment your artisans may get irate.

As a followup suggestion on implementation of this idea:  expand the z-stones menu to include non-economic ores.  For each ore have a P for digging profile similar to workshop profiles - where you can set a minimum/maximum mining skill to dig the ore.  This way you can reserve common stone for training new miners and useful ores for your more talented miners.  

As a side effect you'd have a hook for purists to specify that no furniture/walls be made of a certain stone in the fortress.
