Indeed reversed would work better in DNS: the old UK Janet email addresses used major-to-minor ordering, which is far more logical and is far more common in "designed" hierarchic naming schemes (phone numbers, Dewey decimal codes, IP addresses): postal addresses, Western personal names, and UK date formats are exceptions to the rule. I don't think phone users have ever had trouble understanding that you add a prefix to the number if you're calling from outside the local area.
