One neat trick to get dwarfs to wear both mates of their socks and boots. (Assign them: socks > boots > socks > boots)

After searching the internet, while fiddling around with the dumb ass military menu, I have finally mastered how to get dwarfs to wear socks and boots without them failing to wear either the left or right mate(?) of either pair.
My current uniform is made up of: mail shirts, breastplates, cloaks, cloaks, helms, hoods, hoods, trousers, greaves, gloves, gauntlets, gloves, gauntlets, socks, high boots, socks, high boots, shields, (insert melee weapon). With this order I haven't had issues with dwarfs wearing one high boot and not the other.
The most confusing aspect of this nightmare learning experience, for a newbie like me, was that all the items are referred to in the plural in the uniform creation menu. They actually represent a singular unit for the dwarf to fill to meet their uniform requirement. So, for example, a dwarf with a uniform omitting a second gloves/gauntlets combo may see the dwarf fail to have a full pair of either when you inspect their inventory. It could also see the dwarf, somehow, getting both items correctly. Sometimes majik just happens.
Venting aside, I've come to enjoy dwarf fortress and now I cannot go back to RimWorld.
