Can someone tell me how I can change the order that mergefields are
displayed?

I've done a google search to no avail but what I'm trying to do is
something I thought someone else would have already accomplished.

I'm doing a mailmerge on a postcard. On one side I print information
for a contact from the datasource and on the other side I print the
contact's address. The postcards are four up on a page. The problem is
that the contact's address has to be displayed in a different order so
that the contact address matches with his data. For example, if I use
the mergefield and Next Record fields together I can get a 8.5
x 11 page that looks like this, (please use a fixed pitch font)

___________________
| | |
| Rec 1 | Rec 2 |
|_________|_________|
| | |
| Rec 3 | Rec 4 |
|_________|_________|

But, what I need is a page that looks like this,
___________________
| | |
| Rec 2 | Rec 1 |
|_________|_________|
| | |
| Rec 4 | Rec 3 |
|_________|_________|

So that when I print on both side of the paper the data for the same
contact matches up. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any way
to sort how the records get displayed. Change the order in which the
fields are inserted certainly doesn't help.

Any suggestions?
