Let's try this one more time...
  If you  print out a document in two column format using landscape mode
and then put the sheets together and fold and staple, the pages will come
out in the wrong order.
  Lets pretend... If you were to do this with two pages(printed front and
back)-- you fold the pages over and staple and now look at the text.  Regardless
of how you numbered the pages, the content will be in the order:
	2 3 6 7 8 5 4 1
or some other combination depending what order you print onto the back
of the pages.

P.S.  I don't mean to sound insistent.  Maybe I misunderstood the direction
of the original question.... or maybe not.
