Yes, this is how it works for endian-switcheroo architectures.
In most cases, the desired endianness may be configured at
sid startup/reset time.  Ben's comment was only about how
to classify the endianness parameter in the tksm GUI
(regardless how it was acquired or related to hardware
control registers).
