Every bijection $f \colon X\to Y$ induces an order-isomorphism between $(\mathcal P(X),\subseteq)$ and $(\mathcal P(Y),\subseteq)$.

This follows easily from the following two observations:

  • $A\subseteq B$ $\Rightarrow$ $f[A]\subseteq f[B]$ for any map $f$
  • $f^{-1}[f[A]]=A$, if $f$ is a bijection.
