Identifying ordinal position of an enumerated value

is there a function, enum_ordinal for instance that returns an ordinal position of the enuerated value in the enumerated type?

classdef WeekDays
   enumeration
      Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
   end
end

temp=enum_ordinal(Tuesday)
temp = 2

Actually I am using enumerated types in StateFlow and use the following to create the enumerated type

Simulink.defineIntEnumType('BasicColors', ...

{'Red', 'Yellow', 'Blue'}, [0;1;2],...

'AddClassNameToEnumNames', true);

I can find the value of an enumeration

BasicColors.Yellow == BasicColors(1)

ans =

1

but no way to determine the number of enumerations, in this case it should be 3 but size doesn't work just returns the length of the string 'BasicColors'

size BasicColors

ans =

1 11

Any help out there, the help in Matlab seems to be lacking here?

If I could find the number of enumeration values I could loop thru them looking for a match.

Use

length(enumeration('BasicColors'))

ans =

3
