post positive adjective
A simple, short sentence became a trigger. I started wondering about the position of the adjectives. So far the most information I found is on Wiki, then I made up couple sentences and want to know whether they are correct...
1. The consumer reviews of products available on the market in ABC are marginally more reliable than those provided by similar publications.
1.1. The available consumer reviews of products on the market in ABC are marginally more reliable than those provided by similar publications.
2. The worst thing imaginable is the end of the world.
2.1. The worst imaginable thing is the end of the world.
I simply thought about why an adjective, like "available", "imaginable", can follow a noun directly...?
And, are the meanings of the sentences changed if the position of the adjective is different??
Thank you for having a look at this long question

All of your sentences are correct, but I think 2 sounds more natural than 2.1.

So as far as the 1 and the1.1 they can mean different things. In the first one the products are "available" and in the 1.1 sentence the reviews are "available" does it make sense? . The first one is the one that makes the most sense and it's correct. The 2.1 is right because in English the adjective usually goes in front of the noun. let me know if this was clear!
