Printing a Brochure
You can print a Writer document as a brochure or a booklet. That is, 
Writer prints two pages on each side of the paper, so that when you fold 
the paper, you can read the document as a book.
When you create a document that you want to print as a brochure, use 
portrait orientation for the pages. Writer applies the brochure layout 
when you print the document.
To Print a Brochure
1. Choose File - Print.
2. In the Print dialog, click Properties.
3. In the properties dialog for your printer, set the paper orientation 
to landscape.

If your printer prints duplex, and because brochures always print in 
landscape mode, you should use the "duplex - short edge" setting in your 
printer setup dialog.

4. Return to Print dialog, and click the Page Layout tab page.
5. Select Brochure.
6. For a printer that automatically prints on both sides of a page, 
specify to include "All pages".
7. Click OK.
If you print a document in portrait on a landscape page, two opposing 
sides in a brochure will be printed next to each other. If you have a 
printer with double-sided printing capability, you can create an entire 
brochure from your document without having to collate the pages later. 
If you have a printer that only has single-sided printing capability, 
you can achieve this effect by first printing the front pages with the 
"Front sides / right pages /odd pages" option marked, then re-inserting 
the entire paper stack in your printer and printing all the back pages 
with the "Back pages / left pages / even pages" option marked.

If LibreOffice prints the pages in the wrong order, open the Options tab 
page, select Print in reverse page order, and then print the document again.

I hope this is what you are looking for.
