That is beyond confusing... I'm sure this solution is good, clever and all that but it takes serious dedication to understand what's going on whatwith all the single-letter variable names and a variable "sorted" that's supposedly... not sorted?..
As I understand it, it's just how BitConverter works. It seems that whatever architecture CodeWars uses to run our code happens to be little-endian, and thus GetBytes() acts accordingly. See the documentation:
The order of bytes in the array returned by the GetBytes method depends on whether the computer architecture is little-endian or big-endian.
Do note that the Kata does implicitly describe the first octet being the left-most one (and, correspondingly, the most significant one).

It's just named "sorted", not that it's sorted
