Ordinal

Ordinal refers to a position or rank within a sequential order. It indicates the order of items, such as first, second, third, or top-ranked, without specifying the exact difference between them. For example, finishing a race in first place is an ordinal position. Unlike measurements that focus on quantity, ordinals show relative placement or hierarchy within a set. They are commonly used in rankings, prize placements, or any context where the order of items matters.
