Can credit card pin numbers be described as Qualitative - Ordinal?

Can credit card pin numbers be described as Qualitative - Ordinal?

I've just started taking statistics. Today the class was asked what type
of data are credit card pins.
The lecture leading up to the question gave us the following: Data can be
described as being quantitative or qualitative. If qualitative, it can be
described as nominal or ordinal. In order to be ordinal, you must be able
to order the data in a meaningful way; therefore, being able to order pins
from least to greatest does not make them ordinal, I know.
I am wondering though, why can't pins be described as ordinal given they
can be ordered in terms of complexity, by the number of repeating digits,
etc? EDIT: In this case, the order would be meaningful in a study about
links between simple pin numbers and stolen credit cards for instance.
