When selecting hex values by sweeping right to left I get the correct values appearing in the data interpreter window, but when sweeping the values from left to right the data interpreter ignores the selection and shows values starting from the next unselected byte on the right. Why is this ?

As an example, if I have the following hex values A1 00 00 B4 C1 00 00 D6 and select the first four bytes sweeping right to left then the Data Interpreter (Big Endian)displays as expected A1 00 00 B4. If I select the same four bytes (A1 00 00 B4) sweeping left ro right then the data interpreter displays the next four bytes C1 00 00 D6.

The data interpreter displays data based on the cursor position, not on the selection. So, if you select from right to left, the cursor ends up at the first byte, and you see the data you selected in the interpreter. However, if you select from left to right, your cursor ends up the last position, and the interpreter interprets the data from there.
