The usual accounting is by longitude not how you arrived. Of the cities listed Sydney is easternmost and Seattle is westernmost.

If it was by how you arrived, then I've got problems, since I've flown around the Earth.

And in that case, how would you handle an Antarctic researcher who ran laps around the South Pole?  He'd have passed through all 360 deg. of longitude in a matter of seconds.
