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.

Where the left number in a coordinate in the map set is always what kind of line?

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.
