Thank you for the tip, though I of course know it. This is basically the way I have been dealing with this problem. But it is far from being perfect, if you have 80 page document and several spreads with different pages you wouldn’t want to deal with it by hand.
Unfortunately, nobody can answer why exactly InDesign doesn’t shuffle pages from these non-standard spreads automatically and how to deal with it.
Thank you for the reply and for the link, David. I have already read this article and have been searching the answer to my question seems all over the internet.
I am just trying to understand the reasons why InDesign act this way. Does it treat the spreads with the pages of different sizes like some kind of special spreads and that is why doesn’t want to shuffle its pages? Understanding this would help to find the workaround maybe.
Colleen, here is the link to the IDML file. I have described what I expect to happen inside the file itself.

Looking forward to the results of your test.
If anyone knows at least something on this topic, please let me know. I am still looking for the help in this question.
I think when making your test you didn’t take into account the most important part – one of the pages on a spread must be of different size or orientation. Please, if you have time, repeat the test and let me know.
Same in my document. Both Shuffle options are checked.But the landscape page doesn’t shuffle automatically.
Thank you for the reply Dwayne. It seems you are right. I’ve been looking for the solution for about 3 days now and can’t figure it out. So, basically it means that it is impossible to achive with bullets and lists.
Thank you once again for your time.
Have a nice day.
