Each structure of (i), (ii), and (iii) can be generated by following the order respectively.
(i) Determiner rule → Complement rule
(ii) Determiner rule → Attribute rule → Complement rule
(iii) Determiner rule → Attribute rule → Attribute rule

As you can see, [an old French student] have three tree diagram above. ‘old’ and ’French’ have different functions in each case. Firstly, in the (i) case, ‘old French’ is a Complement of ‘student’ as the prenominal NP, and hence it is attached with the Head Noun and generate N-bar. As ‘French’ serves as a Noun so can be modified by an Adjective. And then looking at the (ii) case, ‘French’ is a Complement of the Head Noun, whereas ‘old’ is an attribute. We should expect the prenominal NP is a sister of N and daughter of N’, but the prenominal AP, (i.g Attribute), is a sister and daughter of N’. In the last case, we can realize that both ‘old’ and ‘French’ are prenominal APs as attributes
