Wrong, the ordinate is specifically the second coordinate (the first one
being the abscissa).  I don't think these words are in common use in the
english speaking world though (in France, "abscisse" and "ordonnée" are
terms taught at school).  The terms x-coordinate and y-coordinate are
very commonly used.
