It is very unlikely.
The IAU no longer regards Pluto as a planet so Neptunewill forever be our 8th planet even when it is farther from the sun than Pluto. However it will be another 230 years before Neptune is farther from the Sun than Pluto
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.See the related link for a pictorial which gives a pictorial representation.
Back when Pluto was a planet and not a dwarf planet, it sometimes Neptune to be the ninth planet because their orbit crossed. Now that Pluto is a dwarf planet, there are only eight planets in the solar system.
Pluto has been recategorised as a dwarf planet. Until its change in status it was considered to be the ninth planet from the sun. Though, on occasion, its orbit brought it closer than to the sun than Neptune, the eighth planet.
Currently Neptune is closer to the sun, however Pluto can get closer when it's at the closest part of its orbit. Pluto was closer then Neptune about 10 years ago, but it currently heading out to the farther part of its orbit, and con't be closer than Neptune again for over 200 years.

Neptune is the eighth planet. Pluto, formerly the ninth planet, is no longer considered a planet.
Yes, Neptune is the eighth planet, and the farthest from the Sun. Back when Pluto was considered a planet, Neptune became the ninth planet for 20 years of Pluto's orbit as Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune for part of its orbit.
Neptune

It swings past Pluto. So Neptune is the ninth planet from the sun.

No. Neptune is actually the 8th planet. They are, in order from the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Until recently, Pluto was considered the ninth planet, but had that revoked following much debate.
Neptune's place in orbit is relatively after Uranus's orbit. It being the eighth and final planet in our solar system (Pluto is not a planet), Neptune crosses with Pluto in the orbit making it the ninth planet until Pluto was kicked out.
