    Hi, how can I make jot display the date as 10th, 31st, 3rd etc etc (ordinal suffix)?

    I’ve got the placeholder - [+comment.createdon:date=`%d %B %Y, %H:%M:%S`+]

    However that does 10, 31 etc only?

      [+comment.createdon:date=`%d`+] will print day in month,
      [+comment.createdon:date=`%d`+]
[+comment.createdon:date=`%d`:gt=`10`:and:lt=`20`:then=`th`:else=`
	[+phx:math=`[+comment.createdon:date=`%d`+]%10`:is=`0`:then=`th`+]
	[+phx:math=`[+comment.createdon:date=`%d`+]%10`:is=`1`:then=`st`+]
	[+phx:math=`[+comment.createdon:date=`%d`+]%10`:is=`2`:then=`nd`+]
	[+phx:math=`[+comment.createdon:date=`%d`+]%10`:is=`3`:then=`rd`+]
	[+phx:math=`[+comment.createdon:date=`%d`+]%10`:gt=`3`:then=`th`+]
`+]

      first line prints day, second line checks 10-20 numbers which must have "th" and ...
      So output for today will be "11th".

        Very nice AHHP! smiley works like a charm.

        BTW: If someone is experiencing the white space between the date and suffix eg. 3 th, be sure to make the whole call in 1 line, it will solve it.
