This would be more useful if it would provide a hint about where the location is. Usually, that's what you need to determine which format is more reasonable.
Yes, you can go check it on a map, but it'd be faster to see it on the site itself!
yes, that is known as reverse geocoding (exactly what our API does). The challenge is then people will crawl the site at massive volume to get free geocoding. But still perhaps you are right, perhaps we could put the country or region to at least show approximate location.
Really curious about the use case for this. It seems so trivial I was looking for signs that it was a joke/statement piece. Am I reading it right? A website that reorders two numbers?
There's no standard among GIS tools https://macwright.com/lonlat/ It's similar to tools that convert colors, hex <=> int, URL encoding or such. Of course one could write a script or copy&paste into Excel and another methods to recorder the numbers. I'm biased, I work with coordinates a lot.
I use it quite often, especially to get the json strings. It's a small tool, nothing groundbreaking, but useful for a certain target group nonetheless.

Hope this site grows to include +/-, E/W N/W, 0-360, and decimal minutes as well.
Here's some good background on the problem (linked in the FAQ) https://macwright.com/lonlat/
