When using dried fruit or nuts in baking, dust dry flour on the fruit or nuts so that they don't sink to the bottom when it's baked.

What dried fruit goes with dried cherries for a filled cookie?

Dried cranberries or dried apricots would taste awesome with dried cherries. :-)
Shake raisins and other dried fruits in flour before you add them to dough or pudding so that they won't sink to the bottom during baking.
