Implementation

function STNDRD( num )
 
	if ( num == 1 ) then return "st" end
	if ( num == 2 ) then return "nd" end
	if ( num == 3 ) then return "rd" end
 
	return "th"
 
end

Fix

function STNDRD( num )
	if ( num > 3 and num < 21 ) then return "th"
 
	local n = num % 10
	elseif ( n == 1 ) then return "st"
	elseif ( n == 2 ) then return "nd"
	elseif ( n == 3 ) then return "rd" end
	return "th"
end

Notes

• Only works up to 20. Values such as 21, 22, 23 will incorrectly return "th".
