In the calendar, when I press 'S' to give the times of sunrise and
sunset, Emacs asks for longitude first and then latitude, despite the
norm is the other way round (and is the order for an example in the
Emacs manual).

Define your own version of the 'solar-setup' function with the order for
longitude and latitude reversed and map it to the 'S' key. The other
option is to define 'calendar-longitude','calendar-latitude', and
'calendar-time-zone' ahead of time and avoid the prompt altogether but
from the sound of it you aren't just checking one area.

This happens quite often with other applications as well. The best is you set up a site init file (site-start.el) with settings like:
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-starts
'(calendar-nth-named-day -1 0 3 year))
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-ends
'(calendar-nth-named-day -1 0 10 year))
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-starts-time 120)
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-ends-time 180)
(setq calendar-longitude +8.7561)
(setq calendar-latitude +50.3396)
(setq calendar-location-name "Friedberg")
(setq calendar-standard-time-zone-name "MEZ")
(setq calendar-daylight-time-zone-name "MESZ")
(setq calendar-current-time-zone-cache
'(60 60 "MEZ" "MESZ"
(calendar-nth-named-day -1 0 3 year)
(calendar-nth-named-day -1 0 10 year)
120 180))
(setq display-time-24hr-format t)
That will allow to observe the situation here at home. (Could be some settings are old and unnecessary.)
