"Last but not least" is an idiom that is used to mean something which is listed or stated last is not less important than the other things that were mentioned before. This idiom is used very commonly when you are listing things and want to emphasize that the final thing you listed is still just as significant or important as the others, even though you mentioned it very last. Ex: Thank you to my parents, teachers, and last but not least, my friends for supporting me. Ex: It's important to work hard to achieve your goals. Last but not least, it's also vital that you take time to rest and enjoy life.
