Has anyone run into an using the OGC WFS Reader for a WFS hosted by QGIS Server where the coords are swapped? Before I go back to the provider with the observation “hey I think there’s a bug in how your service is being delivered” I’d like to check that it’s not a known issue etc. To use the service I had to do the following:
 

Thanks for any ideas!

Hi ​@crutledge.  I tried it with a WFS I found using Gemini: https://ws.mapserver.transports.gouv.qc.ca/swtq?service=wfs&request=getcapabilities

I was able to successfully read in this service using the OGC WFS Reader using FME 2025.0 (see image below) -- no issues with the coordinates.

Have you tried reading the WFS with another application other than FME?  What version of FME are you using?

​@nampreetatsafe Thanks for confirming Nampreet. My suspicion is the service. I am using 2024.0 and have never ran into an issue before. Wanted to see if anyone had experienced something like this before.

Thanks again!
