But remember that any more than three and it will sound pretty funny! Even three is often more than enough.

Re: sequence of adjectives...
I have a similar list:
(1) determiner if any (a, my, Han’s & etc) + (2) Expression of order if any (first, final & etc) + (3) Expression of quantity if any (one, some, every & etc) + (4)Adjective of judgment or opinion if any (happy, boring & etc) + (5) Adjective of size &/or shape if any (big, round & etc) + (6) Adjective of age &/or condition if any (new, perfect & etc) + (7) Adjective of color if any + (8) Adjective that can also be used as noun if any (Thai, French & etc) + (9) the noun.
Examples:
!. The(1) many(3) big(5) yellow(7) pineapples (9).
2. First(2) broken(4) old(6) blue(7)glass(8) table(9).

What a detailed list! it really helps me. Thank you.
I have one question, though:
Your list brings shape before age. Some other lists do the opposite although I prefer yours. What is the most correct one?
