Little-Endian

   One of the two major ways of organizing multi-byte numeric
values in memory.  A little-endian layout places the least significant
byte of the value in the lowest (first) memory location, i.e. 12345678h
is stored as 78h 56h 34h 12h.  Intel processors are little-endian.
Compare Big-Endian.
