Eww. The view has its own position, and the byte ordering is fixed when the view is created. The wrapped byte buffer is in a protected field, and the view is a package-private class so it can't be subclassed by the user. So I would have thought that could be made to work, but but never mind, I can see you've gone a long way down this road already. The SPARC regression is very odd: I would have thought that if it's broken here it would also be broken in HeapByteBuffer.getLong(). Andrew.
