"Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order:
opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun.
So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French
silver whittling knife." - an excerpt from a book called
"The Elements of Eloquence" by Mark Forsyth.

Does a similar natural order exist for Isearch, so prefixes
absolutely have to be in the order "overwrapped regexp I-search",
but not "regexp overwrapped I-search"?
