usage - How to ask a question about ordinal number?

There are many pupils in the classroom. Peter was the n th( n is a positive integer) student to arrive. Now I want to ask Peter about what n is. How can I ask him?
It seems that it is very difficult to begin with a wh- question in situations like this.



As I have noticed previous similar questions about this.



Where did Peter fall in the sequence of arrival?



Is this idiomatic ?
