Incorrect page sequence for TOC/Lot and preface pages withdouble-sided output

["redlettucemail" <redlettucemail@mailscan.acenet.net.au>]

I have used the workaround code below to delete blank pages, and renumber, so that there are no blank pages between the Table of contents and each of the lists of figures, tables and examples. The LOTs (and TOC) all appear on their separate pages, but when I set the document to double-sided output (which has different inner and outer margins) the LOT pages and the following Preface all appear with margins set up for recto (with a larger inner margin), and the page number in the footer is in the same position for all pages (it should alternate between left and right for subsequent pages). The output should alternate between recto and verso margins.

 

The first code below is the workaround to delete blank pages. The second is to specify page numbering on the LOT pages. I think I have narrowed down the problem to the first batch of code in the first example (by iteratively deleting each part of the code – 1 and 2 – and transforming), but I can’t see how the workaround affects the page sequence for LOTs. Thanks very much.
