better implemented as

    tie(x.min, x.max) < tie(y.min, y.max)

Or since C++20, just default operator<=>: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/default_compariso...

That’s fine if you just need any well-defined SWO, but I presume the author needs this specific ordering for some algorithmic reason. Still, it’s pretty ugly for a comparator to be throwing.
