AbstractEnum.ordinal

Returns the ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in its enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero).

Most programmers will have no use for this method. It is designed for use by sophisticated enum-based data structures, such as {@link java.util.EnumSet} and {@link java.util.EnumMap}.
