Lon/Lat Order when using spatial POINT type with MySQL

Question

What is the correct order when setting a POINT in MySQL?

Even the answers in SO questions differ on this: Moving lat/lon text columns into a \'point\' type column

Answer 1

as one can see here https://stackoverflow.com/a/5757054/1393681 the order is (lon lat).

lon is basicly the y axis and lat the x if i look at my globe, but the lon's are traveling along the x axis and the lat's along the y axis so i think thats the reason why you use (lon lat)

Despite that, if you stay consistent in your application it shoudn't matter if the world is flipped inside your db ;-)
