Information about the English conventions on adjective order has popped
up on Facebook. One of my friends asked whether there's an analogue or
extension covering multiple titles, e.g., Lieutenant Lord McWhatsit as
opposed to Lord Lieutenant etc. My first thought was that the situation
is rare enough not to have developed a consensus, but second thought was
dubious. Is there any research or other information on this?
