Neptune is always the eight and last planet from the Sun.
However, because of the declassification of Pluto from a planet into a dwarf planet, the rules have changed.
When Pluto was a planet, it's orbit intersected that of Neptune, so at one period, Pluto was closer to the Sun than Neptune, whereas at other times, it was the other way around.
