Latitude is north/south of the equator measured in a series of degrees.
Longitude is east/west, measured by a system of degrees from a fixed spot.
So generaly at in a Latitude Longitude reading it will have a N or E.
For example 25 01'59.72" N that would be latitude because of the N (meaning North)
But in general I believe yes latitude is read first.

as long as you make it very clear which is which.

Which comes first when writing latitude and longitude?
Latitude is more often given first. But it really doesn't matter, just as long as the coordinates are clearly identified.
When given latitude and longitude coordinates which is given first?
Yeahh. You always do latitude, then longitude. =)
The degree of longitude is always listed?
Second, after latitude.
What is a trick to help you remember in which direction latitude and longitude?
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
Do you look at the lines of latitude or the lines of longitude first when you are finding the coordinates?
It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!
Which is first laditue or longatude in plotting nombers?
It is customary to provide latitude first and longitude second when plotting locations. Latitude represents how far north or south a location is from the equator, while longitude represents how far east or west of the prime meridian a location is.
What comes first longitude or latitude?
Coordinates are given with the degree of latitude first, follow by the degree of longitude. For example, New York City lies at about 41 degrees North, 74 degrees West.
Which one comes first longitude or latitude?
Latitude is usually given first. But it doesn't really matter, as long as you clearly specify which is which when you list the numbers.

When giving a position it is usual to give latitude first.

Which technological development made it possible for sailors to find their latitude and longitude for the first time?
For latitude the sextant, and later for longitude, the marine chronometer.
Help with longitude and latitude?
Well, what exactly do you need to know? Latitude is up and down (North and South) , and longitude is side to side (East to West). Just think of latitude fatitude for side to side, and LONGitude, for up and down. Latitude comes first.
When doing a latitude and longitude coordinate which do you first label?
