Adjective order

Adjective order in English follows a pattern that we call DOSA-SCOMP: Determiner, Opinion, Size, Age, Shape, Color, Origin, Material, and Purpose. So "My favorite big old square white French cotton gardening hat". When adjectives fall into the same category, separate them with commas (in any order): "A beautiful, mysterious song".
