Even though saying “the big brown brick wall” means the same as saying “the brick brown big wall”, the second feels so very wrong.

So those sentences actually don’t mean the same thing technically. The image they portray to a native speaker is different.
To simplify it. A big brown brick wall is exactly as it sounds a large wall of bricks that is brown.
A brown brick big wall is a wall made of brown bricks and it’s big.
A brick big brown wall is a brown wall that seems to be as big a single brick.
