ORDINAL

       Convert an integer to a correct English ordinal string:

       The first four ordinal strings are "1st", "2nd", "3rd", "4th" ....

       result = ordinal( num )

       num = number to be made an ordinal.  If float, will be FIXed.

       result = string such as '1st' '3rd' '164th' '87th', etc.
