Finwitch:

Ron did maintain order at least once, mainly between Seamus&Harry. We
don't know what else he does for prefect duties, since Harry's not there.

As to why Ron loves being Prefect-- well, because his Mom shows him
very positive attention for it. Also, it's usually amog prefects the
Head Boy is chosen from, and considering Ron's desire (as shown by the
Mirror of Erised in PS) has him as both Head Boy and Quidditch
Captain, holding the House Cup(or was it Quidditch Cup), adored by his
Mother, with the absence of his siblings. (who have all but Ginny left
 Hogwarts by now), he certainly does wish for it.

And it's not like he never complained about something he really liked.
It's a show Ron puts on subconciously. Partly to make Harry feel
better about not being chosen, partly because Fred&George wouldn't
like it if he showed off with pride for the position.
