The whole clue is the definition (& lit or double definition).
How the clue works
The whole clue works as a cryptic definition, playing on the two meanings tucked inside Coming in last in spite of everything? — you've got the literal sense of being AFTER ALL the others, and then the everyday phrase meaning "in spite of everything." The question mark signals that the surface is doing double duty, winking at both senses at once.
