Compacting stockpiles

Colonists very like to have a lot of almost empty stacks on stockpiles and not having any place for something else more important. This could be semi-fixed with having specialized stockpiles or having stockpiles with different priorities, but the problem still might exist.
Is there any chance of giving colonists new sort of hauling task to compact stockpiles?

I would appreciate this too. Colonists should compact stockpiles (if possible) whenever the stockpile is full and/or when there isn't anything to haul. Also, they should prefer to take partially-filled stockpiles first.

Having to set up separate stockpiles for some items can become annoying, as can having five stacks of meals with odd amounts in them.

They would enable higher stacks of one item to be stored in one tile.

Clothing needs to stack by type, all jackets in one pile, all pants in one pile. then when you click on the stack, a window opens up with what is in the stack.
