Follow-up Comment #3, bug #61836 (group groff):

The formatter is single-pass, but are the output drivers as well?  My guess is
yes, since they're designed to work in a pipeline.

But if they're not, could grout itself be given new commands saying what order
its pages should appear in?  To relocate a TOC, for example, the end of the
grout file could be a command specifying "page order: 1-4, 212-213, 5-211,"
and the postprocessor would order the pages as specified.  From comment #1, it
sounds like at least gropdf already has the machinery available to do this.
