LOL. Two standards. That's a good one, Marshall.
I did see the bit about high-order byte, but had never heard that term before, but Google shows it is used.
In the IETF the terms are generally "Little Endian" and "Big Endian". This appears to be big endian. Regards Marshall

I'm assuming that "Standard byte order" referred to over and over in the docs means Most Significant Byte first?
It should really be documented that way. As far as I know, there is no standard byte order.
Well, of course, actually there are two. And that's why it needs to be specified.
