    Hi and welcome. Where are you stuck? Having the chapter unnumbered or having the sections numbered the way they are. Or producing a toc in the first place?

  • @Johannes_B: I believe, its the ordinal numbers first, second etc, as the title of the question proposes.

This is a solution that depends on the book class, by removing patching the \@chapter macro, changing the \addcontentsline entry and setting it to \Ordinalstring{chapter} from fmtcount package.

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{fmtcount}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\@chapter}{\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{\thechapter}#1}}{\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect{\numberline{\chaptername~\Ordinalstring{chapter} #1}}}}{}{}
\makeatother



\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Some chapter name}

\section{Number one}

\subsection{Subsec Number one}


\chapter{Another chapter name}

\section{Number one from 2nd chapter}

\subsection{Subsec Number one}


\end{document}
