It is just one example of a paper on the patterns of adjective order. 
Actually I just found this site which is more to the point: 
http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar/adjectives/order-adjectives 
If you look at the order you can see they entail a right-to-left 
application. Left-to-right application only occurs when one of the 
adjectives themselves needs to be modified, i.e. there is a sub-clause, so 
to speak.
