The statement "Put nouns used as adjectives first" is not true. Adjectives used as nouns should come before nouns used as adjectives. For example, "the big red balloon" is correct, while "the red big balloon" is incorrect. The correct order should be: determiner (article), opinion, size, shape, age, color, origin, material, type/purpose, noun.
