Need a switch to toggle column or row first ordering for some PDFs #331

Some PDF files are ordered by column first instead of row first. For example, if you have a file with 6 columns and 3 rows, it normally would have the page order:

1,2,3,4,5,6 7,8,9,10,11,12 13,14,15,16,17,18

But in some PDF files the correct order is:

1,4,7,10,13,16 2,5,8,11,14,17 3,6,9,12,15,18

Here is a sample PDF: https://www.shelbyoutdoor.com/images/support/301_raglan_pattern_A4.pdf

@davidohyer thank you for the suggestion! I've held off on adding this feature since it is uncommon and, as you've shown in your example, you can use PP for column ordered stitching. That being said, adding a row/column order toggle doesn't add too much complexity to the stitch menu so I'm warming up to the idea!
