Thumbs up How can I change the order of book pages of an existing book to left-to-right instead of right to le

Hi, I have a booklet already with right-to-left layout in Publisher 2013, 28 pages with images on each page.
It's a book that's already been printed as a booklet (that's why it has a page number which is a multiple of 4), and it's in Hebrew right now.

I now want to turn it into an English book with its English translation, otherwise keeping the same order of pages and images.

I.e.: I want the whole book to be set to left-to-right view, so that when I view it in 2-page view, I will see page 1 on its own (front cover), then page 2 on the left, page 3 on the right opposite it, then page 4 on the left, page 5 on the right opposite it, etc.

I have quite a lot of experience with publisher but cannot find a way to do this, would really appreciate some advice on this.

I tried going to where you can set the default viewing order to left-to-right through "file" - options - but
a). it hasn't worked, even after I closed and reopened my document,
b). I don't really want to change the default but only this specific publication.

sum up: it's important to me because I have a number of other such booklets to turn from Hebrew into English and I cannot properly work on them if the page layout remains right to left, it makes it very difficult to work with and see what's happening and how the opposite pages match.

thanks in advance,

I.
