Reverse binary reading

Question

I have a document that shows a data in HEX, and split it into multi part (head, TransactionID, MessageType and ...) There is a problem in this document, and it is for example for TID they write something like this:

TID: 0xe0380000 = 14560

As i know converting 0xe0380000 to decimal will be 3761766400, not 14560. I figured out that the way they read data is something like this:

For a given number such as 0xe0380000 they rotate the number and it will be 0x0000038e0 now the 0x0000038e0 in decimal is 14560. What is the reason for such a method to convert? Is it any thing to do with Uint32 part in the documentation table?

In the documentation table from the link that you've provided, the type for TID is Uint32-LittleEndian and the size is 4 bytes. Endianness indicates the order of bytes:

Little Endian (LE): - 14560 (10) - > e0 38 00 00
Big Endian (BE): 14560 (10) -> 00 00 38 e0
