If the coordinate order is incorrect for a WFS table retrieved from a server, then it may also be incorrect for other tables retrieved from that server. In this case, you can override the coordinate order at the server level.

Note: Information about WFS servers is stored in a file called MIWFSServers.xml. By default this file is located in the %APPDATA%\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\<versionum> folder. More information on where this file is located can be found in Advanced Configuration Options for System Administrators in the MapInfo Pro Install Guide.

You can make changes to the XML file in an XML editor, and then restart MapInfo Pro to apply the changes.

In the MIWFSServers.xml file, each server specification begins with a <Server> node. This node will have child nodes for the URL <HTTP> and a description <Description>. There may also be other child nodes as well. To override the coordinate order for a server, you will add a new child node <OverrideCoordinateOrder> with the value true.

For example:

<Server>
   <HTTP>server URL</HTTP>
   <Description>server description</Description>
   <OverrideCoordinateOrder>true</OverrideCoordinateOrder>
</Server>

If you have a local copy of the table you can refresh it, or download the table again, to apply the coordinate order override.
