No, most machines order the bits within a byte the same way, it's the 
bytes within a 16bit or 32 bit word that can be ordered differently.

If you know the processor, google. If you have access to the source of 
the C standard library, you could look at the source for htons(). Or 
write a 32 bit word to memory, then read the memory locations out a byte 
at a time and see what order you get them in.
