Set the <ol> tags on the outside of the while.

<?php
$all_tutorials = " select * from tutorials where active = 1";
$result = $db -> query ($all_tutorials) or die ($db->error);
if ($result) {
    ?>
    <ol>
    <?php
    while ($row = $result -> fetch_object()) {
    ?>

    <li><?php echo $row->tutorial_title; ?></li>

    <?php 
    }
    ?>
    </ol>
    <?php
}
?>
