Ordenstall

1. første *
2. andre *
3. tredje *
4. fjerde *
5. femte *
6. sjette *
7. sjuende
8. åttende
9. niende
10. tiende
11. ellevte *
12. tolvte *
13. trettende
14. fjortende
15. femtende
16. sekstende
17. syttende
18. attende
19. nittende
20. tjuende
21. tjueførste
22. tjueandre
30. trettiende
31. trettiførste
40. førtiende
50. femtiende
60. sekstiende
70. syttiende
100. hundrede
1000. tusende
* - No rules, just memorize
* - "te" added after the tallord (number)
sjuende and tjuende are almost pronounced in the same way but the Norwegians are good. sjuende can be syvende also. I am not sure if the reason is to avoid confusion but it is a great help especially for me as a foreigner. By the way, sju can be syv also.
Others have rules......

1 en/ei/ett
1. første
2 to
2. andre
9 ni
9. niende
27 tjuesju
27. tjuesjuende
I hope you did find difference...
Note: tallord doesnt have period after, but ordenstall has period after

29 februar 1980 og 29 02 1980- these formats are wrong
29. februar 1980 - is the right way
or this
29. 02. 1980
Note: with dates, we neeed to put period after the day and month
Because Norwegians read dates this way;
tjueniende februar nitten åtti
eller
tjueniende i andre nitten åtti
I hope you did observe that the year doesn't have period after. That is the reason why it is only written in numbers (tallord), not in "ordenstall"
