I am not sure. Anyone has any ideas?

I've expected sort of Rect.contains behaviour, i.e. if rectA overlaps 
rectB, then rectA > rectB and rectB < rectA. But you cannot use this 
semantics for sorting - there are rectangles, which cannot be compared: 
when rectA and rectB have empty intersection or one of them only partly 
overlaps another, operations greater/less are not defined.

Thanks a lot.
