Is Pluto the coldest planet even though its a dwarf planet?

Although Pluto is colder than Neptune (our coldest planet), Eris is both larger and colder than Pluto. Eris is quite a bit further from our sun than Pluto, whereas Pluto is sometimes closer than Neptune. Even when Pluto is closer to the sun, it still doesn't get warmer than Neptune, as Neptune possesses a small amount of internally generated heat.

Neptune is the planet that typically lies between Pluto and Uranus. However, during some parts of it's orbit, Pluto will be closer to the sun than Neptune is (i.e. Neptune is no longer between Uranus and Pluto; instead, Pluto is between Uranus and Neptune).In fact, as of February 11th, 1999, Pluto passed Neptune, thereby making Neptune the furthest planet from the Sun. Neptune will continue to be the further than Pluto until April 5th, 2231.


When Pluto was considered a planet why was neptune the farthest planet from the sun from 1979 to 1999?
