exported meshes vertices appear in reverse order in ogre

I don't know how you're converting, but you should bear in mind that OGRE uses a right-handed coordinate system. As well as the axis directions as shown in that link, it also means that the 'front' of a triangle is that side where the triangles vertices are viewed in counter-clockwise order.

Also, I think 3DS needs to switch the X and Z axes - I remember seeing that in the exporter but not really knowing why.

In blender you can scale negatively by one axis to mirror the object. This would accomplish the 180 degree rotation, but put the door on the correct side. (ie scale by x axis, -1)

I was just relating my experience with blender to your problem. 3DS probably has a similar option to mirror your scene. You can do it before export.
