I think you want BETWEEN SYMMETRIC:

<literal>BETWEEN SYMMETRIC</> is the same as <literal>BETWEEN</>
except there is no requirement that the argument to the left of
<literal>AND</> be less than or equal to the argument on the right.
If it is not, those two arguments are automatically swapped, so that
a nonempty range is always implied.
