Refuse orders
Dwarves can do different things with different types of refuse. You can tell them to ignore refuse altogether r for a smelly fort, or to gather refuse even from outside o which is mainly useful for collecting animals killed by military dwarves (only hunters will return animals they kill, and even then will not return animals which were not the target of a hunt when they died). Each type of refuse can be toggled between "save" (bring to a stockpile) and "dump" (throw in a garbage dump activity zone)
Workshop orders
Many workshops will generate tasks automatically, from this menu you can turn that off for selected workshops. The loom and clothier's shop can be further configured to use only dyed thread/cloth or any type. Since finished clothing cannot be dyed, this is one way to make sure the clothing is of best quality possible.
Activity zone orders
Fishing and drinking (water source) zones can be set to mandatory here, which can be useful if you need to keep fisherdwarves away from a carp infested river.
When dwarves disobey orders
Staying indoors
When you have only outdoor meeting areas (for example to prevent cave adaptation) and tell your dwarves to stay inside, the ones that have nothing to do seem to just stand around wherever they were, looking silly, even when they are outdoors, Designate a meeting area inside and they'll run there. Disable it when you don't need it (ia) and your dwarves will keep on using the outdoor meeting area.
