This is not true. Comparison should *never ever* depend on the order of arguments, i.e. x < y should in all cases be equivalent to y > x. Programmers largely expect those to be equivalent in action the only difference being style or readability.

All compilers since 2.060 accept this basic code [1] while clearly the spec says the compiler must issue an ambiguity error (and the spec is right about that).
