page order is wrong when printing 6-to-1

Description
If you print 6 pages onto one sheet, the default page order is wrong.
For portrait documents, the "page order preview" in the print dialog looks correct, but the actual page order ends up as
2 4 6
1 3 5
If I change the page settings to "landscape", then the page order preview in the print dialog looks wrong, like
1 2 3 4 5 6
but it ends up being printed correctly as
1 2 3
4 5 6
So I think it's becoming confuses about the original document being portrait, but the printed sheets being landscape.
For real landscape documents, it's exactly the other way around. I set the page properties to "landscape", try to print six pages on one sheet. Preview looks correct:
1 2 3 4 5 6
but pages come out as
2 4 6 1 3 5
I have to force the page settings to portrait mode to get a wrong page order preview, and correct printout.
You can replicate this by choosing "print to file" and just using the print preview. No paper waste necessary.
