MapInfo Pro opens and saves to both .wor and .mws formats. When opening a .mws format workspaces, if there is more than one base layer from the same data source, then all charts are put on the top layers. This is because they relate to the data sources in the MWS file and not to layers.

When MapInfo Pro saves a MWS workspace, it saves the layers in a group layer, but does not save the group layer.
