Arabic/indian numbers, when written in arab writing direction from right (lowest significant decimal) to left (most significant) can just be read logically without scanning ahead but in order small to big. Maybe german borrowed this RTL reading order for the 2-digit numbers. German borrowed the word 'Ziffer' (= 'digit') from the arab word for 'zero', so there's some connections.
