Is there a technical reason why Android tools (DDMS, and emulator "geo fix") expect longitude before latitude?
<p>This isn't really a problem, I am able to use the Android tools correctly, but they always trip me up when I come back to them because they expect input with longitude first, then latitude (<a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/emulator.html#geo" rel="nofollow">geo fix</a>, and DDMS). </p>

<p>That's backward from the way I have always used them, and from the way every other tool/API I've used has represented them, and even from the way the Android APIs use them (<a href="http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/reference/com/google/android/maps/GeoPoint.html" rel="nofollow">GeoPoint</a>, for example, expects latitude first, then longitude). </p>

<p>I am curious if there is a technical reason for this that I don't understand, or if it's easier in some context or something (some reason for it, or is it just random)? </p>
