Sorry if this is another stupid beginners question, but I really want to make this clear for myself.

I want to add $10 to hl. Because of swapped LSB/MSB, I thought this was the way to du it:
ld de,$1000		;$10->e, $00->d
add hl,de		;hl=hl+$10

But this never worked, and for fun I tried the more common sense method:
ld de,$0010		;$00->e, $10->d
add hl,de		;hl=hl+$10

This works excellent. Could somebody please tell me why the second version does not add $0100 to hl???

Regards,
Martin
