How to use Convert an Integer to Ordinal
- 1. Paste the integers. Enter one or more whole numbers separated by spaces or newlines. Each one is converted independently to its ordinal form.
- 2. Choose the ordinal format. Pick Suffix to get compact forms like 1st, 2nd and 3rd, or Words to get spelled-out ordinals like first, second and third, depending on what your document style calls for.
- 3. Copy the ordinal list. Copy the converted values in the same order they were entered and paste them into a schedule, ranking, or piece of writing that needs ordinal numbers.
When to use Convert an Integer to Ordinal
Convert an Integer to Ordinal turns plain whole numbers into their ordinal form, either as a suffix like 1st and 2nd or fully spelled out as first and second. Use it whenever a list of numbers needs to read as a ranking or sequence rather than a raw count.
- Writing race or competition results. A results page needs to display finishing positions as 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on. Paste the plain rank numbers in and copy out the properly suffixed versions.
- Formatting dates in a document. A formal invitation or article style calls for dates written as the 21st of March rather than March 21. Convert the day number to its ordinal suffix before dropping it into the sentence.
- Generating spelled-out ordinals for a script. A voiceover or narration script reads better with words like first and second instead of numerals with suffixes. Switch the Ordinal format to Words to get the spelled-out version.
- Labeling steps in a numbered list. Some documentation styles favor first, second and third over 1, 2 and 3 for introductory steps. Convert the sequence numbers here before writing the final copy.
