Is It W by H?

The Graphics' industry standard is width by height (width x height). Meaning that when you write your measurements, you write them from your point of view, beginning with the width. That's important.

Is it height by width by Length?

The dimensions displayed in the size tab are listed as length x width x height.

Do you put height or width first?

The orientation is dictated by which measurement has the greater value, and the standard format for denoting size is always width first, then height, or WxH. For instance, frame with the measurements of 8″ X 10″– the first number being “Width” and the second being “Height”– is portrait.
