1. Network Byte Order is Big Endian.

2. x86, ARMv8 and RISC-V are Little Endian.

3. IBM 360 through s390x are Big Endian.

4. MIPS, PowerPC and ARM can be bysexual.

ARM is actually bi-endian too as of ARMv3.

[edit] even ARMv8, the instruction fetch is always treated as little endian however the data access is implementation defined and therefore can also be bi-endian. [1]
