Series.cat.as_ordered(*args, **kwargs) Sets the Categorical to be ordered
Series.cat.as_unordered(*args, **kwargs) Sets the Categorical to be unordered

To create a Series of dtype category, use cat = s.astype("category").

The following two Categorical constructors are considered API but should only be used when adding ordering information or special categories is need at creation time of the categorical data:

Categorical(values[, categories, ordered, ...]) Represents a categorical variable in classic R / S-plus fashion
Categorical.from_codes(codes, categories[, ...]) Make a Categorical type from codes and categories arrays.

np.asarray(categorical) works by implementing the array interface. Be aware, that this converts the Categorical back to a numpy array, so levels and order information is not preserved!
