- Method Detail
  - ordinal
```
long ordinal()
```
    Retrieve the ordinal number of the chunk. The ordinal number is essentially a number that indicates in what order the chunk will appear in the output file. For any given chunk, the ordinal number is guaranteed to be greater than that of the parent chunk's ordinal, and is guaranteed to be greater than that of any previous sibling chunks. The ordinal number is also guaranteed to be unique within a file.
    
    Returns:
    
    The ordinal number of the chunk
