Spanish translation:si, aunque tambien "referencia tercera..."
Explanation:
Como he visto escrita la palabra "referencia" junto a los numeros, es posible que el documento pertenezca a leyes o codigos (educacion, terminos legales o resoluciones) en los que es comun encontrar el numero despues del sustantivo.
Espero que esto ayude!

Explanation:
si en el contexto no te parece demasiado informal, no veo por qué no. Algunos contextos no lo admiten, como por ejemplo las fechas, que en español se escriben con números cardinales, no ordinales.
