Because there's a specific order that adjective types should go in: Quantity (number); Quality (e.g. bad, good, etc.); Size; Age; Shape; Color; Proper adjective (e.g. Italian); Purpose (e.g. "sport" in "sports car")
Deviation from this order happens sometimes, but usually for emphasis (e.g. big beautiful house). Normally a person would say a beautiful big house, but since the adjectives are flipped it puts more emphasis on both adjectives somehow.
