Latitude is north/south of the equator measured in a series of degrees.
Longitude is east/west, measured by a system of degrees from a fixed spot.
So generaly at in a Latitude Longitude reading it will have a N or E.
For example 25 01'59.72" N that would be latitude because of the N (meaning North)
But in general I believe yes latitude is read first.
Latitude is more often given first. But it really doesn't matter, just as long as the coordinates are clearly identified.
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.

It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!
For latitude the sextant, and later for longitude, the marine chronometer.
It is customary to provide latitude first and longitude second when plotting locations. Latitude represents how far north or south a location is from the equator, while longitude represents how far east or west of the prime meridian a location is.

Latitude comes first when specifying coordinates, followed by longitude. Latitude refers to how far north or south a point is from the Equator, while longitude indicates how far east or west a point is from the Prime Meridian.

Latitude and longitude came first. A very long time before such things as satellites, computers and smart phones ever existed.
