<p>I don't think that's a mistake. The choice of abbreviations is
indeed somewhat random, or might depend on local usages. Using the
direction will be more robust.<br>

<div>Reading the axes of EPSG:<span
style="color:rgb(48,48,48);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline;float:none">21781
</span><a href="https://epsg.org/crs_21781/CH1903-LV03.html"

(Switzerland) I found something strange: <br>
</div>
<div> CS[Cartesian,2],<br>
AXIS["easting (Y)",east,<br>
ORDER[1],<br>
LENGTHUNIT["metre",1]],<br>
AXIS["northing (X)",north,<br>
ORDER[2],<br>
LENGTHUNIT["metre",1]],</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The first axis is east... however the abbreviation is "Y".
Is there any reason for that? Is it just a mistake in EPSG
data? I have the impression that I should ignore that
abbreviation, and relay only on the direction. But it is
getting hard ;)</div>

<div>Thanks.<br>
