I recall seeing an option to control this in InstrInfo:

  // Target can specify its instructions in either big or little-endian formats.
  // For instance, while both Sparc and PowerPC are big-endian platforms, the
  // Sparc manual specifies its instructions in the format [31..0] (big), while
  // PowerPC specifies them using the format [0..31] (little).
  bit isLittleEndianEncoding = 0;
