I have a date that is pulled through as part of a merge field as follows:

and payable on the { MERGEFIELD Contract_DemandDate\@ "d" \Ordinals } day of each month by standing order

The day is split off as expected but for some reason this does not seem to add the ordinals on the end. The merge field is a date and splitting off the day doesn't seem to be a problem but it's almost as if the ordinals and the mergefield are processed at the same time so the ordinals can't be applied to the split off day.

Any help would be appreciated.
