Not really. Well, it's possible, but only in a "playing creatively with language" kind of way. It's not standard, natural English.

  • It's also not completely clear whether you mean that they went last Sunday and it was sunny that day, or that they went on the most recent Sunday that happened to be sunny.
  • Also, you have a typo: "sunnny" for "sunny".

The last sunnny Sunday, they went shopping. - If last Sunday was raining, then it was the previous Sunday, etc., back to the Sunday which was sunny. I would prefer to use "on" - On the last sunny Sunday, they went shopping.

Mr Wordy Well, it's possible, but only in a "playing creatively with language" kind of way. It's not standard, natural English.

Clarification: Here I'm talking about the meaning "they went last Sunday and it was sunny that day" -- which is what I first thought you meant before the other possibility occurred to me!
