And use it as:
\enordinalnumber{1}
\enordinalnumber{2}
\enordinalnumber{3}
\enordinalnumber{4}
\enordinalnumber{5}
\enordinalnumber{100}
...
It is stored now as part of my "standard macro pack" for Context.
Thanks to all.
As I was just reminded by a British Telecom website (which confirmed
that I was moving on the "13rd"), I'm used to two more exceptions
(suggested as a patch):
\def\enordinaldaynumber#1%
{#1\ifnum\lasttwodigits{#1}=11
\highordinalstr{th}%
\else\ifnum\lasttwodigits{#1}=12
\highordinalstr{th}%
\else\ifnum\lasttwodigits{#1}=13
\highordinalstr{th}%
\else\ifcase\lastdigit{#1}%
\highordinalstr{th}%
\or % 1
\highordinalstr{st}%
\or % 2
\highordinalstr{nd}%
\or % 3
