Adding "th", "nd", "rd" or "st" to dates

Question

Hi All,

Has anyone come across a date formatting function which can
add the appropriate "th", "nd", "rd" or "st" to a date?
I've done a fair bit of googling and haven't come across
anything which takes into account that not all numbers ending in 1
should have an "st" appended to them (e.g. 11) or for that matter
not all numbers ending in 2 should have a "nd" appended to them
(e.g. 12) and so on.

Thank you for the direction to cflib.org, I'm not really an experienced CF programmer, rather a designer looking after a CF site, so I wouldn't try to write one.

You should really read people's messages properly before you try to give them shtick though...I said not all numbers ending in one should have an "st" appended to them and my example of this exception was the number 11. Although I'm not proficient with CF, I am proficient with the English language. Obviously 11 and 12 are both suffixed with “th”, giving you 11th and 12th.

Regards,
Kylie
