I opened a wave file through hex editor. I tried two hex editors, and both put 44100 in hex (AC44) in reversed order.
Why is that? For ASCII characters, "fmt", the ordering is natural.
This is AC44.
Does this have to do with Big-Endian / Little-Endian? But why would other values displayed in the correct order?
Thanks!

The offset is the number of bytes from the beginning of the string. It is shown in hexadecimal (digits 0-9, letters A-F). Each line can contain 16 bytes. You can't edit this column.
A hexadecimal file is a standard for storing binary files that can be used directly by the computer. A hex editor is also known as a byte editor or binary file editor.
In the most powerful hex editors, these areas can be configured to display other values. Every file on your machine is made up of a series of bytes. A byte is just a number that can store a value from 0 up to 255 inclusive.
Yes, it is stored in little endian format. The endianness of each field is shown here:
Note that there is a mixture of big and little endian.
