Default Merging data on both side of a sheet

I print reminder postcards 4-up on 8.5 x 11" sheet. (I am using the postcard
page layout.) I need to be able to use the same data base and print one side
with the client's name, address, etc. Then run the cards through a second
time and print the back of the card with reminder information. When I do so,
Mrs. Smith's reminder information will end up on the back of Mrs. Jones' card
because I have no way of controlling the order of the cards. Is there any
way to accomplish this?
Thanks!!

You need to setup your data differently. Maybe two data bases. There are
formulas for this in Excel.

Front Back
Mr. Smith Mr. Jones
Mr. Jones Mr. Smith
Jane Betty
Betty Jane

Whatever is on the right on the front will be on the left on the back.
