It isn't. The coordinates of a point may be given in either order, as long as it's clearly
identified which one is latitude and which one is longitude.
Latitude is given first, followed by longitude. For example, the coordinates for London, England is 51.5074° North Latitude, 0.1278° West Longitude.
The starting line for measuring latitude is what
Typically, latitude is given first followed by longitude when providing coordinates. Latitude measures the north-south position, while longitude measures east-west. So the order is latitude, longitude. For example, 40.7128° N, 74.0060° W represents the latitude and longitude coordinates for New York City.
its always listed first!
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.
It's always listed first!:)

It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!
Latitude is more often given first. But it really doesn't matter, just as long as the coordinates are clearly identified.
We typically list the latitude first, but some computer applications prompt you to enter the longitude first. In realty, it doesn't really make much difference.
In this example of coordinates, 23° 8′ 0″ N, 82° 23′ 0″ W, the first part (23° 8′ 0″ N) is the line of latitude, the N is north, so it is north of the Equator (zero latitude). The second part (82° 23′ 0″ W) is the line of longitude, the W is west, so it is west of the Prime Meridian (zero longitude).The line of latitude (also known as the parallel of latitude) is always given first. Then the line of longitude is given last.Incidentally, 23° 8′ 0″ N, 82° 23′ 0″ W is Havana, Cuba.
