When two or more adjectives are used to describe the same noun, they should follow this order:
Number, quality, size, shape, age, colour, origin/material, then a noun
Examples of sentences involving more than two adjectives are as follows:
1 A good small round old yellow rubber ball. [complete set 1]
2 Two shiny small square old gold Chinese coin. [complete set 2]
3 An old woolen overall. [two adjectives]
4 A ferocious big grey dog. [three adjectives]
5 Three round new black iron spheres. [four adjectives]
