In a booklet type design, page numbering is a bit of a headache for a beginner (this happened to me also before).

Like this one:

We usually export page from bookcover, page1, page2... etc.

But some printers doesnt have capabilities yet to automatically arrange the pages like the sample above, However there is a nifty tool in Indesign. FILE>PRINT BOOKLET. And it will magically arrange the pages for you without hassle.
