adjective order: "long boring report" or "boring long report"?


A long boring annual report
A boring long annual report




which of the above is right?




I learnt the adjective order of DOSA SCOMP, which means the adjective order should be as below:




determiner, opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose




the answer is




a long boring annual report





but that seems to be against the DOSA SCOMP
Does anyone know the reason?
