    Description

      Description

      When using "urn:x-mongodb:crs:strictwinding:EPSG:4326", the GeoJSON coordinates of polygons should be specified in counter-clockwise order in both queries and data. This applies to both:
      https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/query/geoIntersects/#intersects-a-big-polygon
      and
      https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/query/geoWithin/#within-a-big-polygon

      Scope of changes

      Fix this in v3.2 of the manual and port forward from there.
