"Flip" is not appropriate to my mind. It works well for bits because they are binary, but it doesn't convey the idea of reordering bits/bytes to a specific sequence. I prefer my suggestion of "reorder" because, after all, the operation (ostensibly) reorders the data.
+1 You might also consider “invert,” as in “invert the endianness,” which does what “flip” tries to do with IMO a more appropriate word. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
