There are certain guidelines about the order of premodifiers, but none of them are perfect! These rough guidelines, though, may prove useful:

1. Adjectives with an absolute or intensifying meaning come first (in the precentral zone): same, certain, entire, sheer, etc.

2. Other adjectives come next (in the central zone): big, small, huge, tiny, slow, fast, angry, he
