Multiple factor and ordinal variables

[jkb...@nyu.edu]

I apologize for this very basic question. I saw a paper that incorporated multiple factor analysis using mixed data, including continuous data, ordinal data, binary data, and categorical data using FactoMineR. The http://factominer.free.fr site has some really nice documentation and examples for MFA using categorical and continuous variables but how do I specify that a variable is ordinal? Below is all I see.

#type: the type of the variables in each group. "s" for scaled continuous variables, "c" for centered (unscaled) continuous variables and "n" for categorical variables
