The ontological proof is called a priori because:
{ 1 } - it argues from cause to effect.
{ 2 } - it argues from the world to God.
{ 3 } - it argues from an idea that is gained before sense experience.
{ 4 } - it argues from sense experience.
{ 5 } - it argues from effect to cause.

The ontological argument argues to the existence of God from the idea of God. It does not argue to an effect, because God is not the effect of anything.

{ 4 } - it argues from sense experience.

That would be an a posteriori argument, because the world, the effect, comes after the cause, God.

No, that would be an a posteriori argument because it argues from what comes afterwards, the effect, to that which came before, the cause.
