For a minor clarification. In the electronics world, we specify the sequence of multiple bytes with the word "Endian".
Assume the hex number is 0x1A2B. For Big Endian, the 0x1A is first. For Little Endian, the 0x2B is first. The previous comments indicate that Firebird is Litle Endian.
(For serial communication we also specify the bit order, LSB or MSB, which is transparent to most folks).

This documentation is actively corrected and it is better to read latest versions
directly from source:
https://github.com/sim1984/langref25
https://github.com/sim1984/langref30
Google Translate at least won't add anything strange from the blue sky.
