.SH "NAME"
psorder \- PostScript pageorder filter
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBpsorder\fR
is a filter that re\-orders the pages of a PostScript document\&. The result is written to the standard output\&. By default, documents are processed into ascending order (the lowest numbered page is printed first)\&. Some PostScript documents specify that the order of their pages should never be changed; the default action of
\fBpsorder\fR
is to follow this specification\&.
.PP
If no source file is given, or if
\fIsourcefile\fR
is `\fB\-\fR\',
\fBpsorder\fR
reads from the standard input file\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-d\fR
.RS 4
Re\-order the pages of the document in downward or descending order\&. This is typically used to change the order of a document to be printed by a printer that stacks pages face\-up, such as an Apple LaserWriter or LaserWriter Plus\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-u\fR
.RS 4
Specifies forward order, and is the default\&. It is used to try and ensure the correct ordering when a document will be printed by a printer that stacks the pages face\-down\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-f\fR
.RS 4
Force
\fBpsorder\fR
to re\-order the pages, even if the document claims that its page order is not to be trifled with\&. This option should only be used experimentally, as it may cause documents to print incorrectly\&.
