Depends, they could if the site gave access to common varint formats for instance.
Also can't help but think it's the wrong way around? I feel like when you play with byte order you want to see how the bits change for a given number, rather than the number for the same bits. Though I guess both are valuable, depends on your use case (whether you have a bit pattern and try to understand what it is, or have a number and try to see how it would encode).
Exploring signed representations could also be useful.
