Bit order

The first letter indicates the outer bit ordering, i.e. how bytes are filled: B*: from left to right (B is for BigEndian) L*: from right to left (L is for LittleEndian)

The second letter indicates the inner bit ordering, i.e. how words are stored: *B: the most significant bit is stored first (in the outer bit order!) *L: the least-significant bit is stored first (in the outer bit order!)

E.g. two successive words of 5 bits: ABCDE, VWXYZ - BB: ABCDEVWX YZxxxxxx - BL: EDCBAZYX WVxxxxxx - LB: XWVEDCBA xxxxxxZY - LL: XYZABCDE xxxxxxVW
