Georeference lattitude/Longitude entry

Cesium for Unreal
1

This is probably a trivial thing, but when I started entering locations in the georeference actor I was getting strange results. I finally realized that the entry fields were
Longitude
Latitude

I’m rather used to writing latitude first and wasn’t actually paying close attention to the data entry fields, but I almost always see coordinates as XXX N/S XXX E/W. I was copying points of interest from the web and typing the latitude into the longitude field…

I don’t know if the typical order is regional (I’m in the US) but I spent longer than I care to recount before I figured out that actually reading the labels for the fields would be useful.

Just a heads up for anyone else who isn’t paying attention.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I wrote Display latitude before longitude in the UI (contrary to our usual practice) · Issue #309 · CesiumGS/cesium-unreal · GitHub to discuss and possibly change this.
