I am a bit confused as to what exactly you are asking, more context would help.

However I am assuming that you may be asking about coordinates (e.g. plane graphs, maps).

In coordinates they are traditionally listed as (x, y), so x comes first.

In multivariate polynomials the x variables commonly appear before the y but don't have to.

Example: f(x,y) = 4*x^3*y + 12*(x*y)^2 + 6*x*y^3 - 14

There are many other possibilities where x and y are used in mathematics to represent things.
