Watch as every pitchfork gets pointed at you when you talk about middle endian.

Which is a real thing. There are systems that would store, say, a 32-bit word as two 16-bit words that were big endian relative to each other, but little endian within the 16-bit word.



Yes, but which order are the bits stored in each byte?
