I'd like to make a booklet. I notice that in the Print dialog box there is an option where I can have it print 2 pages per sheet. If I do this, and then load the paper back into the printer upside down, and print again, I have a perfect booklet format. I can simply fold the paper in half and staple it on the seem for an instant booklet.

Except...
the pages are out of order
If the booklet were 9 pages, I'd like the 1st sheet to contain pages 5 & 6, the 2nd sheet to contain 3 & 8, the 3rd sheet to contain 1 and 9, the 4th to contain 4 & 7... etc.

Is there any way to tell it to print like this?
Thanks!
