It would be quite useful if it was possible to set a simple priority-chain for resource-gathering, workshop-jobs, construction, and hauling.
By this I mean that if for example:
Jobs are prioritized as 1 Resource-gathering, 2 Workshops, 3 Construction, 4 Hauling
Dwarf 1 has Woodcutting, construction, and wood-hauling enabled
Dwarf 2 has Carpentry and wood-hauling enabled
Dwarf 3 has only hauling-jobs enabled
If then a lot of trees are designated to be cut dwarf 1 would cut them before taking on any other job(excluding eating, drinking, sleeping) and dwarf 2 & 3 would haul away all of the wood.
And if in the middle of all that there is an order for 20 bins placed then dwarf 2 would finish all the bins instead of hauling wood.

Alternatively this could be the native priority hard-coded into the game.

what about feeding prisoners? construction and removal?

[Miles_Umbrae]

feeding/watering prisoners/patients would be lumped in with hauling and construction/deconstruction would be together.

Good idea, I was thinking of something along these lines also. As to whether the job priorities are set in game or are hardcoded, I think either having them in game or in an init file would be best.

Perhaps down to the dwarf level and done automaticly based on damand and relitive skill levels and able to edit them manually in game a bit or with apps like theripist.
