Hello, in ‘Наде́жда умира́ет после́дней’, why is instrumental used in после́дней? Thanks.

Hello Anita,
In expressions like this one, the Instrumental case is always used for the ordinal numeral or adjective. For example:
– Он пришел первым.
He arrived first.
– Она была второй в очереди.
She was second in line.
– Мы уходили последними.
We were the last to leave.
