Adjective Order "ANOSASCOMP"

What is Adjective Order?
When we write it is common to use more
than one adjective before a noun — for example, “He's a  silly young fool,” or
“She's a smart, energetic woman.”
Sometimes we use more than one adjective to describe a noun. When a number of adjectives are used together, the order depends on the function of the adjective. The usual order is: article (some people call this a determiner), number, opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material and purpose...or as I like to say...
ANOSASCOMP
Examples
  • They have a lovely old red post-box.
  • The playroom has six small round plastic tables.
  • I bought some charming Victorian silver ornaments at the flea market.
  • She is selling her flashy 3-year-old Italian car.
  • It was a beautiful cold day.
