I suggest you read the documentation:
Column IDs might not be sequential.
If a column has ever been dropped from the table, you will end up with gaps in the column ID sequence.

To get a true ordinal position, you'd need to use the ROW_NUMBER windowing function - for example:
SQL
SELECT [name], ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [column_id]) As [Ordinal]
FROM sys.columns
WHERE [object_id] = OBJECT_ID('MyTable')
ORDER BY [column_id]
