GRAMMAR - ORDER OF ADJECTIVES (3º)

Hello!! The aim of this post is to learn how to use several adjectives modifying a noun . According to our textbook we use this order when two or more adjectives are modifying a noun : SIZE-AGE-SHAPE-COLOUR-ORIGIN-MATERIAL + noun (sustantivo). Which is the right answer?

* Un consejo : El orden en castellano es el de Tamaño-Edad-Forma-Color-Origen-Material, pues bien, si nos aprendemos la inicial de cada palabra, es decir TEFCOM, seguro que nos será más fácil memorizarlo!!!
