Mail Merge Double Sided Postcard -change print order

Trying to print a postcard (4 per sheet) which has merged data on both sides.
After printing side one, I cannot figure out how to reset the order of the
four quadrants so that the address on side 2 prints corresponding to the
person's name on side 1. The Printer Propeties Layout tab has a multi-page
option that allows for changing the print order of the four quadrants, which
is what I need to be able to do, but can ONLY seem to do if choosing the
multipage feature, which is not what I want because that merely shrinks the
four quadrants down. There has to be a way. I'm using an Epson 4000, if
that matters. My research of this print order dilemma has been going on for
days, and I'm exasperated. Any help would be appreciated!

You will have to use two separate data bases and publications. When you print
two sided postcards what is on the right on page one will be on the left on page
two.

Thanks, Mary. Appreciate it. But it would take half of forever for me to go
in and swap every other name in a database of 1700 to accomplish this
"simple" feat. I'm wondering if there's another program that will simply
allow me to change the print order of the four quadrants. All I need to do
is change the print order to a 3-1-4-2, which would be the opposite of my
first side's print order. Guess I'm stuck going the peel and stick address
label route again.

I know very little about data bases, but I assume there are sorting criteria.
