Re: Deriving the ordinal position from a field name

I'm looking for a property or method that would give me an ordinal
position number of a field by specifying the name of the field.
Possible?

No, not as far as I know.
AFAIK, you would have to iterate over the field collection, checking to see
names match.
If you do, the counter is the ordinal.
