MIPS bit designations are always little-endian.

For MIPS instructions , the layout of the bit fields within the instructions stays the same regardless of the endianess mode in which processor is executing. The MIPS architecture only uses Little-Endian bit ordering . Bit0 of an instruction is always the right-most bit within the instruction while bit 31 is alwys the left most within a 32 bit instruction. The major opcode is always the left-most 6 bits within the instruction
