In crosses pollen parent goes first.

You have the parents listed in the correct order. The proper form is:
Pod parent × Pollen parent
A multiplication sign " × "seems to the current correct symbol for crosses.
In the past, a capital "X" was often used between the names of the parents used in the current cross.
Edited to add:
Here are two quotes from from American Hemerocallis Society. It appears that there have been some changes.
The older version from 2005

"PARENTAGE
This is not required information, but is important to the breeder and to many growers. Space is provided for the pod and pollen parents. For AHS Check List consistency, the pod (i.e., female) parent is listed first, followed by a capital X (which means pollinated by), followed by the pollen (i.e., male) parent. A small x is used in all other generations.
One Generation Example: (SHOCKWAVE X SUNNY MAGIC)
Two Generation Example: [(CHATEAU BLANC x PALE BLUSH) X Seedling]
Three Generation Example: {PALE BLUSH X [KALI x (Seedling x POLLY MAYO)]}

"PARENTAGE
This is not required information, but is important to the breeder and to
many growers and its inclusion is strongly encouraged. Space is provided for the pod and pollen parents. For AHS Check list consistency, the pod (i.e., female) parent is listed first, followed by a multiplication sign, (which means pollinated by), followed by the pollen (i.e., male) parent.
One Generation Example: (Shockwave × Sunny Magic)
Multi-Generation Example: ((Chateau Blanc × Pale Blush) × sdlg)
Multi-Generation Example: (Pale Blush × (Kali × (sdlg × Polly Mayo)))

Also, note the use of parentheses. With crosses between two named cultivars or species it's not as vital, but when you start using your unnamed hybrids in your crosses then you'll need to use them to prevent confusion.
