I use this name to remember: SASHA COMOP, for adjectival order:
size-age-shape - color - material- origin- purpose + noun

As in Oxford Practice Grammar:
1 Opinion (how good?)
2 Size (how big?)
3 Most other qualities: quiet, famous, important, soft, wet, Most adjectives come next if they do not belong to another group.
4 Age (how old?)
5 Colour
6 Origin (where from?)
7 Material (made of?)
8 Type (what kind?)
9 Purpose (what for?)

A quick follow-on from this...
Would you say these two sentences are both correct in terms of adjective order:
He �s a hungry little boy.
It �s a big hungry dog.
To me, they don �t sound right if you put the adjectives in a different order...
