Swapping values around in WKT to geometry

I have a list of multilinestring values (WKT) that I want to convert to geometry and I am able to convert successfully using the "GeometryReplacer" transformer. But the issue is, the output is rotated incorrectly, I'm assuming because the latitude value precedes the longitude;

 

MULTILINESTRING ((-44.7015317625899 169.11857955951024, -44.7016055333 169.11847676667, -44.701775304303375 169.1184517619954))

MULTILINESTRING ((-44.701775304303375 169.1184517619954, -44.7021002667 169.1184039, -44.7024581167 169.11867501667))

MULTILINESTRING ((-44.9492277 168.83416295, -44.9493422667 168.8342806, -44.95023849319257 168.8351577308208))

MULTILINESTRING ((-44.95023849319257 168.8351577308208, -44.9508926333 168.83579793333, -44.9527597167 168.83769603333))

MULTILINESTRING ((-44.95023849319257 168.8351577308208, -44.94992568966844 168.83576309491352, -44.94992568966844 168.8358054239898))

 

Does the longitude value need to precede the latitude value? and if so, is there anything I can do to swap the values within the mutli string bracket around?

 

Thanks

Thomas

How about applying the CoordinateSwapper (Swap Type: X <-> Y) after the GeometryReplacer?

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
