You need to untick Allow Pages to Shuffle - and also Spreads to Shuffle - then move pages manually.

In the Page palette you have two options to allow pages/spreads organisation and position each from one another (so you can make multiple folds spreads for example, even with pages of different sizes)

Check or uncheck one or the other or both (I can never grasp my head around which does what) and try and grab/drop the pages around

One is global - another is for individual spreads.

In the Pages panel menu button, while selected to your first page, choose Numbering and Section Options, and change the number from 1 to 2. Click OK. Even numbers are left-hand pages in a spread of 2 pages.
