When you go to print or export to PDF, there is a simple method for page 
reordering, and that is, select choose pages and type in 4,1,2,3 and it will 
export in that order. Handling page creep etc when page numbers get larger 
can be an issue. Printing 2 pages on 1 like you want can be handled in some 
instances by smarter print manager like kprinter, but as yet Scribus doesnt 
do that itself. Typically this is left to the print house, but at home user 
and some levels of professional printing certainly need this, a feature to 
come.
