[scribus] Keep master page logic when modifying page order

[Jog Lie]

No, 

English is the standard language so it is not that painful to accord everybody on _E or _O. 
Come on, how many people use english even without noticing ?

Since i will need this functionality, I will first have a look at the Scribus code, understand its logic and propose a patch.
If the community doesn't like that patch, then it will not be added.

But to me, it is logic to code it that way. I don't mean it is for everyone else.
Another point : pain make people move; So will I.

let me see that code...
