Is there a way to reverse page order in InDesign

I have a 125 page document that I want to reverse the order of pages on but can't seem to find an easy way to do so. I've read that I can reverse them when exporting but I want to do it BEFORE I export. Is there an easy way besides dragging pages?

      Here are some other options;

      Use the Multipageimporter.jsx script to place your InDesign file into a new InDesign file and select the Reverse Page Order option, export to a PDF.

      Or,

        If it's just exporting to PDF you could do a row of numbers like this:

        125,124,123,122 etc.pp. down to 1

        and copy, paste that to the page range field in PDF Export.

         

        With Excel the row of numbers can be done in a minute.

        Copy/paste the column to InDesign and then find/replace the paragraph marker with a comma and a blank.

        Copy the result to the clipboard.

         

        Then paste it to Page Range field like so:

         

         

        Export to PDF. That's it.

          This is an amazing workaround. Saved me a lot of time. 🙂

          Hi IamNik,

          no, there is no easy way to reverse page order.

           

          How is the numbering of pages?

          Do you want to reverse numbering as well?

           

          Are there any threaded stories that are running from page to page, from spread to spread?
          Is it a facing-pages document?

           

          Regards,
          Uwe Laubender

          Thanks Uwe Laubender,
          It's a flip book animation that's easier to set-up from end to start. I've resorted to dragging pages but I was hoping there was a quick way to reverse them. 
          It's an oddball project so I think I just need to suffer through the tedium.

          Thanks!
