It goes males first with first borns being the heirs. So after Grandpa Mad King Aerys died, Rhaegar would have been the true heir. He died before that so Rhaegar's son Aegon would have been. He died so Aerys' second born Viserys would have been. Once Jon was born, he technically became the heir. 

Jon is now the last living male. If he died, then Dany becomes queen, but only because there's no males. There's never been a queen before Cersei.
