The word size doesn't affect fixed sized displays, for instance:
With the bytes
| 8-bit
0x00000000 | 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08
and word size set to 32-bits would give columns:
16-bit BE: 0102 0304
16-bit LE: 0201 0403
32-bit BE: 01020304
32-bit LE: 04030201
64-bit BE: 0102030405060708 or 0102030400000000
64-bit LE: 0807060504030201 or 0000000004030201
Word x86: 0x04030201
Word ppc: 0x01020304
and word size set to 64-bits would give columns:
16-bit BE: 0102 0304 0506 0708
16-bit LE: 0201 0403 0605 0807
32-bit BE: 01020304 05060708
32-bit LE: 04030201 08070605
64-bit BE: 0102030405060708
64-bit LE: 0807060504030201
Word x86: 0x0807060504030201
Word ppc: 0x0102030405060708
