[Paraview] byte order filter

[Randall Hand]

The Legacy VTK Binary format requires that data be written in Big-Endian, so
if you write it in Little-endian format it will byte-flip it internally
(thinking it's Big-endian).

You'll need to swap it yourself before you write it into the File... So that
ParaView can swap it again when it reads it (I know, silly ain't it?)
