bug#10045: Unix od command, reverses hex bytes in output

[ADAdamo]

On Red Hat, the od command reverses the hex bytes.
[lrxdusr@cdtslrx122d PatientLoadDataFiles]$ cat a
123456
[lrxdusr@cdtslrx122d PatientLoadDataFiles]$ od -cx a
0000000   1   2   3   4   5   6  \n  \0
        3231 3433 3635 000a

On HP-UX, it prints what you'd expect.
plr02:lrxiusr:/plr02_users/lrxiusr/artdadamo> od -cx a
0000000    3132    3334    3536    0a00
          1   2   3   4   5   6  \n

Is this a big-endian/little-endian issue?

Thanks,
