If an ordering is coming into play in the variable,so can we consider it as categorical

If ordering comes into play it could be ordinal (categorical) or interval (numerical) or ratio (numerical) scales.

Hello,

Try taking examples from both interval and ratio scale also and check whether ordering is meaningful or not. Hope this will help.

Thank you
