Can't believe I've gotten to the point where I'm looking through hex and disassembling code with a table of opcodes and [pseudo]register specs. Never thought I'd get here. Didn't even know that this "here" existed when I was young.

Address spaces are in ascending order, but for writing numbers, place value is in *descending* order. In my opinion, the little-endian byte order gets it technically right by having a consistent and logical order, just ascending. The big-endian byte order mixes the two, with addresses increasing but byte "place-value" descending.
