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.

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.
