| May 24, 2016 at 11:22 | comment | added | user39790 | I appreciate your support for the WKT format, but this is a question/answer forum. As I have said, manually translating what would amount to nearly 100 co-ordinates for each project is not an option. If you do have a solution (i.e a formula that could do as you suggest), I'd be very grateful to hear it, but simply saying that I 'can' reverse the order without specifying how is not very helpful. | |

| May 24, 2016 at 11:12 | comment | added | Vince | "Well-Known" is just that. There's no reason for any software to handle reversed order. You certainly can reverse the order in your function; in fact, you must. | |
| May 24, 2016 at 11:03 | comment | added | user39790 | I understand the way WKT 'should' be ordered, but I'm having to deal with several dozen multipoints in the format "N,E N,E N,E". I can't manually turn them all round so was asking if there were any way to get QGIS to recognise that the WKT is in the format y,x not x,y | |
| May 24, 2016 at 10:59 | comment | added | Vince | Ordering is somewhat arbitrary, but the stardard is {X,Y}. Well-Known Text is documented as requiring X,Y order. No translation is required, just correct ordering. | |
| May 24, 2016 at 10:57 | comment | added | user39790 | Tried that, but with a multipoint, there's no way of getting a formula to 'see' which part is the easting and which the northing and swap them round. If it were only one point I could take the first 10 digits and the first ten after the comma and swap them, but not with a multipoint. | |
