This pull request updates the README file to correct the ordering of longitude and latitude values in the POINT notation examples - the current documentation uses the incorrect format POINT(latitude longitude). The standard format for geographic coordinates in PostGIS is POINT(longitude latitude).

In spatial databases like PostGIS, the correct order is longitude followed by latitude. Mixing these up can lead to confusing results, like a European city appearing in Africa on your map.
