Description Carlos Novaes 2012-04-16 13:43:07 UTC

When I try to print multiple pages per sheet, lets say four pages, I got a combo box to select the page ordering, but the description in that box does not name what is actually printed.
My system is in Brazilian Portuguese, in parenthesis I put the english version (my translation)

If I select "Da esquerda para a direita, de baixo para cima (From left to Right, from bottom to top)", I would expect to see something like this
____
| 1 2 |
| 3 4 |
____

But, I got 

____
| 3 1 |
| 4 2 |
____


If I select "De baixo para cima, da esquerda para a direita (from bottom to top, from left to right)", I would expect to see something like this
____
| 2 4 |
| 1 3 |
____

But, I got 

____
| 1 2 |
| 3 4 |
____
which is what I really want.

Even If I had misunderstood the sequence in one example, the thinking approach that cause exemple one to be right does not appy to example two. 
Seems to me like a translation bug, the options lead to different results, but their name does not mean that result. Also, I remember to had used that option in English a long time ago and I got the expected results.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any document with many pages, a pdf file in okular for example.
2. Select "Imprimir (Print)" and then choose "Páginas por folha (pages per sheet)" as four.
3. Select the ordering to "Da esquerda para a direita, de baixo para cima (From left to Right, from bottom to top)"
4. Click "Imprimir (Print)"
Actual Results:  
____
| 3 1 |
| 4 2 |
____

Expected Results:  
____
| 1 2 |
| 3 4 |
____

As I said, this happens in Brazilian Portuguese, I had not the chance to test in other language by now. As I did not found anything relevant in google and I remember that this option worked a long time ago in a us-english KDE4, I suspect that it may be only a translation bug.
Another related thing (maybe a whishlist) is that if I choose to print to a PDF or PostScript file, It will print only one page per sheet, no matter the settings. So I had to try many settings and waste some paper until I found out the option that leads the the expected result.

sorry, where I wrote
"Da esquerda para a direita, de baixo para cima (From left to Right, from bottom to top)"
it should be read
Da esquerda para a direita, de cima para baixo (From left to Right, from top to bottom)
