If you're sending to a commercial printer, they will do the page 
rearrangement ("imposition") for you; just create your content on single 
pages as usual and discuss your needs with your printing house.

If you're printing to a physical printer in-house, check your printer 
driver; it may have the capability itself. (Our new Konica-Minolta does 
imposition, creasing, and stapling automatically.)

If you're printing to a physical printer in-house that does not impose, 
buy some imposition software such as Quite Imposing ($$$, 
professional-level tool) or Clickbook ($, some caveats such as no EPS 
support, but it works fine for me).

HTH,
