Currently, OpenStreetMap displays coordinates in the latitude, longitude 
(lat,lon) format. While this works well for most users, many developers, GIS 
professionals, and API users commonly use the longitude, latitude (lon,lat) 
format—standard in formats like GeoJSON, PostGIS, and mapping libraries such as 
Mapbox GL and Leaflet.

It would be very helpful if OSM could:

1.Allow users to choose their preferred coordinate format (lat,lon or lon,lat) 
in the UI or user settings.

2.Use (lon,lat) coordinate format as the default

This would make copying coordinates into development tools and code snippets 
much more convenient and reduce confusion or errors.
.
Thank you for your consideration!
