An improvement to stacking behavior

Currently, when you pick up an item, it puts it in the first stack of that item with spare capacity (or the first empty slot), and when you use an item, it takes from the first stack of that item.  This leads to annoying inefficiencies with inventory management.  For example, if something has stacks of 20, and you pick up 30 and use 10, you end up with two half full stacks of 10.  

If you have empty slots, this isn't a huge problem.  If you don't have any other open inventory slots, it means that you constantly need to rearrange your inventory to create slots, and if you have stacks of the same item in multiple bags, this can be very difficult.

I propose one of the following fixes:  
(1) Keep the same behavior when you pick up an item, but when using an item (e.g., cooking, grinding, etc), always take from the lowest stack.
(2) Add a button to combine half full stacks.  Or better yet, some sort of auto-sort button, which moves things around and organizes them by type, as best as is possible.
