Not a defect when
There is effectively no such case: a closure returning unit gives every element the same key, so the sort or comparison silently does nothing.
What it reads
Clippy, with the compiler behind it. The only pass that compiles.
Tier
Serious: worth interrupting other work for.
The tier bounds how severe a rule may be; its category bounds the tier.Diff scope
The changed line itself.

Turn it off, or make it blocking, without touching the code it flags:
rust-doctor --rule clippy::unit_return_expecting_ord=off .
rust-doctor --rule clippy::unit_return_expecting_ord=error .
