    There is a reason why little endian is preferred in virtually 100% of cases: sorting. Mentally or lexicographically, having the most important piece of information first will allow the correct item be found the fastest, or allow it to be discounted/ignored the quickest.

      That’s actually filtering not sorting.

      That being said, it’s more valuable (to me) to be able to find all my things for a topic quickly rather than type.

      Foo_dialog

      Foo_action

      Foo_map

      Bar_dialog

      Bar_action

      Bar_map

      Is superior IMHO.
