Not {big-endian} or {little-endian}. Used of perverse byte orders
such as 3-4-1-2 or 2-1-4-3, occasionally found in the packed-decimal
formats of minicomputer manufacturers who shall remain nameless. See
{NUXI problem}. Non-US hackers use this term to describe the American
mm/dd/yy style of writing dates (Europeans write little-endian
dd/mm/yy, and Japanese use big-endian yy/mm/dd for Western dates).
