Could you help me to put adjectives in the correct order?
1) I am a HARD-WORKING, YOUNG, POLISH student.
2) DELICIOUS, HOME-MADE, LEMON cakes, made to order.
3) SMALL, RED, LEATHER purse.
4) Five LOVELY, BLACK-AND-WHITE, FARM kittens free to good home.
5) choose from my large selection of BEAUTIFUL, WOOLLEN, HAND-KNITTED hats, gloves and scarves.
Thanks)))

They're all correct!
The rule is easy:
SMALL, RED, LEATHER purse:
1. Some leather purses are red, some aren't.
2. Some red purses are small, some aren't.
That's how we do it. LOL.

All are fine...
In many languages, attributive adjectives usually occur in a specific order. Generally, the adjective order in English is:
1. quantity or number
2. quality or opinion
3. size
4. age
5. shape
6. color
7. proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
purpose or qualifier
