While it may well be true that longitude is traditionally listed last, it's not a hard and fast rule,
and no harm comes from listing it first. As long as latitude and longitude are clearly identified
to avoid any confusion, they may be listed in either order.

∙ 13y agoLongitude is typically listed in degrees, minutes, and seconds with the degree symbol as the placeholder. For example, the longitude of a place might be listed as "40° __' __'' W," indicating 40 degrees west. To specify a precise location, minutes and seconds need to be provided.
Latitude is typically, customarily, traditionally, and commonly listed first, but not always. There's no rule. You're free to write the coordinates in either sequence, as long as you're careful to make clear which is which.
its always listed first!
Second, after latitude.
Latitude and longitude are angles. So any unit of angle will work.Examples include radians, grads, degrees, etc.Mostly on account of seafaring tradition and the history of navigation, thesecoordinates are still almost always listed and stated in degrees (and fractionsof degrees, like decimals, or minutes and seconds).
You can do one of the following:* Look it up on Wikipedia. The coordinates of a place are usually listed. * Look it up in Google Maps. In both cases, please note that there are SEVERAL places called "Hamilton".

The longitude is typically listed second, after the latitude. Except for computer input, though, it's not a hard and fast rule. Where the coordinates are to be read by a human being, it makes absolutely no difference which coordinate you list first, just as long as you clearly indicate which number is the latitude and which one is the longitude.

Latitude is typically, usually, traditionally listed first, before longitude.But that's not a hard and fast rule, and it's not always that way.You're free to list it either way you want to, as long as you make itperfectly clear which number is latitude and which is longitude.

It makes no difference which coordinate is stated first or last, just so long as you clearly indicate which is which.
