How to express ordinality with numbers in Rails

If you have an integer and want to use it to represent an element's position (like "1st" for 1, or "2nd" for 2), you can use ActiveSupport's ordinalize Show archive.org snapshot :

1.ordinalize     # => "1st"
2.ordinalize     # => "2nd"
1002.ordinalize  # => "1002nd"
1003.ordinalize  # => "1003rd"
-11.ordinalize   # => "-11th"
-1001.ordinalize # => "-1001st"
