Endianness or byte order is the order of bytes in a multi-byte value like a word. Systems are usually referred to as either 'little endian', where the most significant byte (msb) comes first, or 'big endian', where the least significant byte (lsb) comes first.

More non-ROM hacking specific information can be found at Wikipedia's Endianness article.

Little endian systems

Big endian systems

So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?
