MongoDB: "Malformed geo query" with $geoIntersect on a polygon - mongodb

Question

I have events in a collection, each containing a desired location, set a GeoJSON Polygon.
I also have service providers in another collection, also with a GeoJSON Polygon, indicating the area where they can deliver.
For a given service provider, I'm trying to list all the events that are in a compatible area.
However, I get this error:
Malformed geo query: { $geoIntersects: { $geometry: { type: "Polygon", coordinates: [ [ [ -31.59327575763251, 115.8574693000001 ], [ -31.59676306691357, 115.9162469300458 ], [ -31.60715789289806, 115.9738935747774 ], ...
My Polygons are closed (first and last coords are identical), so that's not coming from there.
Here are the events:

What am I missing?
My query seems to be identical to the official mongodb doc for geo queries.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Your coordinates are specified as [latitude, longitude]. MongoDB requires that you specify coordinates in the opposite order for 2dsphere geometry: [longitude, latitude].
Your query worked for me once I swapped the coordinate order.
