there's also something about syllabic count and/or stress order, but I'm can't remember if it's an official thing.

I think 2 opinions matter in terms of emphasis. "this is my evil embarrassing stepmother"... is there a good embarrassing stepmom too? vs...

I feel like it depends on if the adjectives could modify each other or be converted to adverbs that modify others.

The rule is descriptive not prescriptive, if both sound right then both are acceptable

apparently when you have two or more in the same category, you lead with the more relevant. so depends if he's more embarrassing than evil, etc.

a bit off topic but there’s a tribe that only uses cardinal directions, they don’t say “there’s an ant on your left leg” but “on your southwest leg”

Nah I agree with this but it seems to be more important in writing. Tone and other factors could make an incorrect adjective order sound fine.

Not sure what else they’d fall under unless the purpose was evil-doing

The order in Spanish and in French is slightly different, but different enough that the Duolingo owl to get mad at me.

I could care less about the order, so long as I get the person’s point.

I always thought it was by importance, most important being last
