I believe different positions of adjectives can allow us to convey different messages while using the same words. The following are my own sentences. Could you please tell me if they're correct, and if I'm right?
Old can describe the age of said teacher, their seniority; it's the antonym of young. Old can also determine which teacher it is; it describes their position in a sequence of teachers, the antonym of new.
A) My teacher is boring. My teacher is old. My boring old teacher gives us a lot of homework nobody wants to do. I wish we had a different teacher.
B) My previous teacher was boring. My new teacher is not. My old boring teacher gave us a lot of homework nobody wanted to do. Luckily, we have a new interesting teacher.
I'm not sure if intelligent can allow for a similar thing. It feels like it could be either an opinion or a trait.
C) Sally is an intelligent young woman (just my opinion).
D) Sally is a young intelligent woman (it's her distinguishing quality).
