A bus bridge for coupling between a first bus and a second includes: at least one data buffer; data load logic and data unload logic. The data load logic places received data in the at least one data buffer, wherein the data is received at the bus bridge from across the first bus in a first data ordering. The data unload logic automatically translates the received data from the first data ordering to a second data ordering during unloading of the data from the at least one data buffer for transfer across the second bus, wherein the first data ordering and the second data ordering are each a different one of a linear data ordering and an interleaved data ordering.
