How to ordinal encode categorical data in Python with sklearn

Convert job title categories into ordinal numeric labels using sklearn's OrdinalEncoder with explicit ordering.

ordinal-encoding sklearn categorical-data
Python
from sklearn.preprocessing import OrdinalEncoder
import numpy as np

# Mock data: small job title categories with known ordering
data = np.array([
    ["intern"],
    ["junior"],
    ["mid"],
    ["senior"],
    ["lead"]
])

# Define the ordinal order (lowest to highest)
categories = [["intern", "junior", "mid", "seni…
