[mapserver-dev] Get Axis order from EPSG code

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi,

  If you are referring to  Mapserver code base, there is a predefined 
list of epsg codes that have inverted axis (mapaxisorder.h). It is used 
currently in a couple of places (check mapfile.c function msIsAxisInverted).

best regards,

Y. Assefa
