802.11 frame control

According to the IEEE Std 802.11-2007
it's :
    - 2 bits version
    - 2 bits type
    - 4 bits sub type
    - 8 bits for 8 flags
when I was comparing my result to wireshark , I noticed the following problem
fc is  0x0080 as unsigned short int
and on wireshark data stream packet it's 80 00
no problem but  wireshark dissect it  as follows
version 0
type 0
subtype 8
flags  are all 0s
so it was used as 0x0800
is this correct and if yes why the left bytes is inverted ?
