Adjectives and nouns: which modifier should be written first?

If I am writing a sentence where both a noun and an adjective are used as modifiers, shall I write first the adjective, or the noun?

"It's a nice C code snippet. "

(?) "It's a C nice code snippet."

Is the same "rule" valid for the following sentence?

"Reserved SQL keywords are written in uppercase."

"SQL reserved keywords are written in uppercase."
