This is a datasheet for 4-pin Gull Wing Tactile Switches. Not 8-pin SOL package.

There is no IPC Calculator for Tactile Switches.

We created FP Designer to make these footprints and you have 100% control of the pin assignments.

That does not produce the desired pin sequence shown above.  
It is not just mirrored.  It's 'rolfed.'

It looks mirrored to me.
 
Did you try to select the "Mirror" icon in the toolbar?
 
Just one click and you're ready to roll.
 
Please attach a web-link to the component package datasheet.
 
Thanks!

Using the surface mount tool, how do I change the default SO pin numbering from top down left and bottom up right to alternating top down left-right, left-right?

1  8    -> 1  2
2  7 3  4
3  6 5  6
4  5  7  8
