In deployments, the order of the coordinates fields is currently:

longitude, latitude

That is correct from an x, y perspective. The order latitude, longitude seems to be more common and natural though. That is also the order in which those fields are listed in Darwin Core and how they can be entered in services like Google Maps: 51.496, 4.774 (Belgium) not 4.774, 51.496.

I would therefore suggest to list them as such in deployments:

latitude, longitude
