It's not just about the order of parameters, it's still not intuitive to call max() with $min and min() with $max, you still have to think about what it does step by step to make sense out of it, while clamp($value, min: $min, $max) or clamp(min: $min, value: $value, max: $max) will provide a syntax that immediately make sense for next reader. Like the author of the RFC v1 also mentioned, min(max()) is inefficient (see the inner complexity of those functions).
