Rollup merge of rust-lang#118714 - The-Ludwig:explain_ord_derive_enum_field, r=Nilstrieb Explanation that fields are being used when deriving `(Partial)Ord` on enums When deriving `std::cmp::Ord` or `std::cmp::PartialOrd` on enums, their fields are compared if the variants are equal. This means that the last assertion in the following snipped panics. ```rust use std::cmp::{PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord}; #[derive(PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord)] enum Sizes { Small(usize), Big(usize), } fn main() { let a = Sizes::Big(3); let b = Sizes::Big(5); let c = Sizes::Small(10); assert!( c < a); assert_eq!(a, c); } ``` This is more often expected behavior than not, and can be easily circumvented, as discussed in [this thread](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/how-to-sort-enum-variants/52291/4). But it is addressed nowhere in the documentation, yet. So I stumbled across this, as I personally did not expect fields being used in `PartialOrd`. I added the explanation to the documentation.
