That doesn't help. Neither of those pages say anything about this common
use case.
I do wish the Org manual, at least, would give an example of what the OP
is asking for: repeating events on “every month on the Nth D-weekday at
T time”, and how to translate the N, D, and T into some Org date+time
format that will give that result.
I'd provide a suggested addition to the manual, but I still don't
understand the baroque sexp date format myself.
