I'm using logistic regression to look at a single outcome variable (not multiple variables) that has multiple categories. 

 

While I understand the basic idea, I've never used SAS to do this before; how do I interpret the output? I see:

Probabilities modeled are cumulated over the lower Ordered Values.

But I'm not sure exactly what that means.

 

How can I ensure I'm looking at a specific outcome category? Would it be easier to code several dichotomous dummy variables for each category?

You can see if you scroll down to Output 73.6.5 what the cumulative probabilities look like for this data.
