I am trying to create a histogram of education. However, my data is such that the edu variable is categorical: '10', '11', '12', 'GED', etc.. I want a histogram that goes in that order '10', '11', '12', 'GED', '13', etc.

My two approaches are:

1: Use pd.DataFrame.hist with a new variable that maps edu to a numeric edunum variable. However, I am then having trouble getting the original edu lables on the histogram

2: Use pd.Series(list(profile.['edu'])).value_counts().plot(kind="bar"). However, I am having trouble sorting the bar order correctly.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
