screen captures of setting and resulting print previews

In evince (and only in evince, not in gedit, firefox), the page ordering option is ignored, both in print preview and in the real print.
Tested was done with numerous documents (all PDFs)

Steps to reproduce:
1. open a document
2. select File / Print (or press Ctrl-P)
3. select the 'Page Setup' tab
4. in Pages per side: select 2 pages per sheet
5. in Page ordering: select 'Right to left'
6. click print (or print preview)


Actual results:
the 2 pages per sheet are printed using the left to right page order, no matter which option is selected.

Thanks for taking the time to report this.

However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore by GNOME developers. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes by GNOME developers for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.

Please feel free to reopen this bug report if the problem still occurs with a recent version of GNOME, or feel free to report this bug in the bug tracking system of your Linux distribution if your distribution still supports the version that you are using.

Note that I cannot reproduce the problem, using evince-3.24.0-3.fc26.x86_64 and gtk3-3.22.17-2.fc26.x86_64.
