If "I am the fifth son of my father" is the answer, what will be the question?

Question

I want the exact english word for asking the order of birth.

Answer 1

We always just ask "Where are you in the pecking order?"

Answer 2

There is no particular word describing order of birth although there are several sites which give explanations, psychologically, of the effect of birth order. Alfred Adler (1870-1937), an Austrian psychiatrist, and a contemporary of Sigmund Freud and Gustav Jung seems to be the authority on the effects of whatever order children are born in, whether first born, middle born, last born, twins etc. Check the Wikipedia site for more information or type in 'birth order' on a Google search.

In answer to your question you could have been asked "Chronologically speaking, which number son of your father are you?". There are certain clues that can be found. It was customary in nineteenth century England to name certain sons according to their birth number so the sixth son would be named Sextus, the seventh Septimus and the eight Octavian. I do not know if there are appropriate names for 1st, 2nd, 3rd 4th or 5th sons.
