--- number, third or tenth, eg (7)

I believe the answer is:

ordinal

(Other definitions for ordinal that I've seen before include "Eg second" , "Number which shows position in a series" , "First, second, third etc." , "The associate of Cardinal" , "Ranking number" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
