I have a food stockpile filled with food not in a barrel. I have a barrel stockpile right next to it. I have over 40 idle dorfs. Can't seem to get them to prioritise shelf stacking and organisation. I've tried burrows, (they just mope about claiming no job even though all they have is the two stockpiles in it). I've tried cutting down their labours so I have a specific "shelf stacker" who's supposed to only do food hauling (again, they mope around doing nothing). No idea what else I can do to get them to organise the inventory a bit more. It's frustrating.

Check 'o' ' to see if 'f'ood hauling was accidentally turned off.

If the problem is that you saw dwarfs bring all the separate food items to the stockpile but not put them in the barrel, they probably are doing it slowly, since only one "put item in barrel" job will trigger per stockpile, which you can see in the 'j'obs menu.

Also, some large food items will not be put in a barrel because they are too big.

also check to make sure the food stockpile doesn't have barrels set to 0
