That's not the _order_ of the fields -- it's the _location_ of the
fields.  If you read the fields from left to right (the normal
direction in English although not in some other languages), the order
is: direction, type, recipient.  That's also the order in which the
fields are listed in the ch9.h file.

This change seems quite unnecessary.
