This is not a purely stats question as it depends on the implementation of 
mixed models in R.
The help says that ordered factors are treated differently than unordered, 
which is not very informative.

More explicitly: does ordering simply imply that February follows January or 
that February has got more than January of sth that they both have?

Or pls recommend another way of treating monthly effects.

Thank you
