Ordinal Numbers generator

The Ordinal Numbers generator creates strings representing ordinal numbers, which describe a position or order in a sequence. This generator is particularly useful in applications where sequences or order-based data need to be represented, such as ranking systems, instructional steps, or educational content.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
Ordinal Numbers	ninth, third, first, twenty-sixth, fourth…	character varying character text	Default

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

• The column name is ‘Ordinal’, regardless of the table name.
• The column name starts with ‘Ordin’ and ends with ‘num’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.
• The column name is ‘number’, preceded or followed by any or no characters, and it belongs to a table whose name starts with ‘Ordinal’, followed by any or no characters.

Configure additional settings

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.
