Ordinal number format

[jxp]

I need to format a number as an ordinal. In my native language
(Portuguese) I just have to add a "º" or "ª" symbol to the number (eg:
1º, 2º, etc.) whereas in English it depends on the number (eg: 1st,
2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.).
Is there any way to format a number as an ordinal, depending on the
current culture?

Thanks for your help.

No.

Basically you already give a hint of why it is unlikely to happen.

And at least in English is easy to come with a rule that a computer can
understand (what it the numeric value).
But in Portuguese it depends on the gender of the thing you count.
How is a stupid computer able to decide if something is masculine or
feminine? (except with a very comprehensive dictionary)
