What is a sentence that has two adjectives must remain in specific order?

The old, dusty book sat on the shelf.

In this sentence, the order of the adjectives "old" and "dusty" matters. "Dusty" describes the book's condition, which is a more specific detail than "old," which describes its age. Switching the order to "dusty, old" would sound awkward and not accurately describe the book.
