How to get "Flip on Short edge" sticky?

I am duplex printing and my document needs to flip on short edge. How can I get this setting to stay stciky? Every other setting is sticky except for this one.

 

Plus, if I go to a different print area, like "Page Setup" or "Printer, it reverts back to Flip on Long Edge.

 

This is ripe for errors! I have to reprint over 200 pages because this setting is not sticky.

 

Can this setting be made sticky?

++Edited reply, fixed some minor errors

 

I can think, that it may be better to achieve this with a button using JavaScript.

 

Here's an old thread where I helped another user with something similar:

 

 

However, I think it is possible to make this setting "stick" via GUI,  but you have to customize the desired page printing profile and save it. 

 

Can you confirm if this is happening on a Microsoft windows computer?

No, I cannot confirm that. I do not have a windows computer. I am mac only.

 

As far as customizing the print profile, the "flip on" can't be part of that. That is part of the main print dialog box, not the prtiner-specific dialog box.
