<cffunction name="NumberName" output="no" returntype="string">
<cfargument name="num" required="Yes" type="numeric">
<cfset var returnName = "">
<cfswitch expression="#Right(NumberFormat(arguments.num,"09"),2)#">
<cfcase value="11,12,13">
<cfset returnName = "th">
</cfcase>
<cfdefaultcase>
<cfswitch expression="#Right(arguments.num,1)#">
<cfcase value="1">
<cfset returnName = "st">
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="2">
<cfset returnName = "nd">
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="3">
<cfset returnName = "rd">
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="4,5,6,7,8,9,0">
<cfset returnName = "th">
</cfcase>
</cfswitch>
