Description
### Expected behavior
We are using chart.js in a highly dynamic environment, where axes and curve data are delivered from a server.
It happened, that e.g. for the X axis the values for min and max are swapped (i.e. min > max).
In that case, it would be nice if chart.js threw an error (or chart.js provides any other means of easily spotting a misconfiguration)
### Current behavior
chart.js does not complain at all, but curves are not displayed or only partially (e.g. being rendered partially on the bottom line of the Y-dimension, if Xmin and Xmax are incorrect). Axes are rendered incomplete (e.g. ticks only for min and max values, no grid)
I know it is debateable, if this is an issue for chart.js at all (providing illegal values was our fault). However, it would be nice, if chart.js would provide a means to detect such misconfigurations.

### Optional extra steps/info to reproduce
_No response_
### Possible solution
throw an error?
### Context
Highly dynamical app, which adds/removes curves and respective axes via user interaction and/or automatically from configurations.
Fault was on our side, but some config validation feedback from chart.js would definitly be nice to have.
