There were two examples of phrases where the French reversed the order of the adjectives as they appeared in English (autobiographical feminist manifesto = manifeste féministe autobiographique; unforgettable literary experience = expérience littéraire inoubliable). Is there any kind of rule to this sequencing?

Merci, Julia
