Is there a way to use NSNumberFormatter to get the 'th' 'st' 'nd' 'rd' number endings?

EDIT:

Looks like it does not exist. Here's what I'm using.

+(NSString*)ordinalNumberFormat:(NSInteger)num{
    NSString *ending;

    int ones = num % 10;
    int tens = floor(num / 10);
    tens = tens % 10;
    if(tens == 1){
        ending = @"th";
    }else {
        switch (ones) {
            case 1:
                ending = @"st";
                break;
            case 2:
                ending = @"nd";
                break;
            case 3:
                ending = @"rd";
                break;
            default:
                ending = @"th";
                break;
        }
    }
    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d%@", num, ending];
}
