All this flag does is set a single bit in the MPEG header that tells the *decoder* what order to decode the fields in. For a software decoder displaying on a progressive display like a Computer monitor *the flag can have no effect*: both fields are always displayed together. To check if field order is wrong you have to use an interlaced display. With practice you *can* usually tell something is wrong even on a progressive display but thats not easy to explain in text form. For Movies transmitted in PAL it is easy: simply look to see if at cuts between scenes you get a frame with one field from one scene and the other from the other.
