Force front/back pages

The following JDF fragment shows that page 5 must be on the front.
Note: the partition is used to specify an special treatment for some ranges of pages (in this case: make sure they the first page of the range is in front of the leafs). All pages are printed.
ID ICS requires that an InsertSheet of type "FillForceFront" is specified in the RunList. It's equivalent to inserting some blank sheet in the document, with the advantage that it is more convenient when a document is assembled from several files for which the number of page is unknown.

            </RunList>
            <!-- Page with index 4 in the fifth of the document -->
            <RunList Run="Chapter2" Pages="4 ~ 10">
                <InsertSheet IsWaste="false" SheetFormat="Blank" SheetType="FillSheet" SheetUsage="FillForceFront" />

The following JDF fragment shows that pages 5, 10 and 27 must be on the front side.
Note: the partition is used to specify an special treatment for some pages (in this case: make sure they are in front of the leafs). All pages are printed, not only the 3 front pages.

        <RunList class="Parameter" ID="id" PartIdKeys="Run" Status="Available">
            <!-- Some pages must be forced to front side -->
            <RunList Pages="4 9 26">
                <InsertSheet IsWaste="false" SheetFormat="Blank" SheetType="FillSheet" SheetUsage="FillForceFront" />

I'd maintain that the second sample to the left is invalid: See question: 1196099512
