title: Lavaan - CFA - categorical variables - the last threshold is strange
body: <p>I want to perform a multiple group CFA with <code>lavaan</code> in <code>R</code>.</p>
  <p>I have several categorical variables and some variables contains 11 categories. So these variables will have 10 thresholds. In the results below you can see thatthe 10th threshold is smaller than the 9th, i.e., it is not in the creasing order.</p>
  <p>Several variables with 11 categories have the same problem.</p>

  <h1>Question:</h1>
  <p><em>Why are the thresholds distorted?</em></p>
  <h1>R-code:</h1>
  <pre><code>model2&lt;-'range = ~ NA*gvjbevn + gvhlthc + gvslvol + gvslvue + gvcldcr + gvpdlwk
  
  goals = ~ NA*sbprvpv + sbeqsoc + sbcwkfm
  
  range~~1*range
  
  goals~~1*goals
  
  gvhlthc ~~ gvslvol
  
  gvcldcr ~~ gvpdlwk
  
  '
  
  cfa.model2&lt;-cfa(model2, ordered=varcat, estimator=&quot;WLSMV&quot;,data=sub)
  
  summary(cfa.model2,fit.measures=TRUE,standardized=TRUE, modindices=TRUE)
  </code></pre>
