Declaring SMALL_RECT = {}, does not resize the console window - c++

Question

I am just playing around with simple console applications in C++.
I am trying to resize the console window, and it works fine. First I resize the actual window, then the buffer and all is fine, but once I tried to compress the code, the window no longer resizes. It is really not that important. I am just generally wondering as most suggestions that I looked at declare the SMALL_RECT that way.
P.S I am using TDM-GCC 64 and Eclipse with std=c++17
This works and the window is resized properly
void SetCMDSizeAndTitle(short width, short height, string title) {
COORD coord = { width, height };
SMALL_RECT rect;
rect.Top = 0;
rect.Left = 0;
rect.Bottom = height - 1;
rect.Right = width - 1;
SetConsoleTitle(TEXT(title.c_str()));
SetConsoleWindowInfo(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), TRUE, &rect);
SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), coord);
}
However this does not work, the window remains the default size
void SetCMDSizeAndTitle(short width, short height, string title) {
COORD coord = { width, height };
SMALL_RECT rect = { 0, 0, height - 1, width -1 };
SetConsoleTitle(TEXT(title.c_str()));
SetConsoleWindowInfo(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), TRUE, &rect);
SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), coord);
}
This is not really that important. It is just nicer when there is less lines of code, and I am just generally curious why it doesn't work.

Answer 1

The reason it is not working is because according to the MSDN the variables are not in the order you assume. The MSDN defined the struct as
typedef struct _SMALL_RECT {
SHORT Left;
SHORT Top;
SHORT Right;
SHORT Bottom;
}
Which means you need to follow that order in the initialization list. That means you should have
SMALL_RECT rect = {0, 0, width -1, height - 1};
