Is there a word order for different types of adjectives (see details)?

I caught the tail end of a discussion on the radio about the order of adjectives when several are used to describe the same thing. The person said that this order is one of the things that make English difficult to learn.
I could not find the radio piece online, but I found this site This is something I never thought of before, but it seems to generally hold, although I think there may be some variation. There may be times when you want to say old small house instead of small old house.
Is there a similar restriction in other languages?
