Construction of numerical methods for the solution of initial value problems (IVPs) in ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has been considered overwhelmingly in literature. However, the use of a single numerical method for the integration of ODEs of more than one order has not been commonly reported. In this paper, we focus on the development of a numerical method capable of obtaining the numerical solution of first, second and third-order IVPs. The method is formulated from continuous schemes obtained via collocation and interpolation techniques and applied in a block-by-block manner as a numerical integrator for first, second and third-order ODEs. The convergence properties of the method are discussed via zero-stability and consistency. Numerical examples are included and comparisons are made with existing methods in the literature.
