Comma around adjectives

There exists a test for determining with a fairly good chance of success whether a comma is necessary between adjectives; it is found here.

• First, place the word "and" between the two adjectives.
• Second, reverse them.
  If, in both instances, the resulting phrase still sounds appropriate, we are most likely dealing with coordinate adjectives and should use a comma between them.

When you have a minimum habit of the language you can use that test; I figure that for a certain time period (which I couldn't determine) it is of little use to beginners.

You can say, very apparently¹, "other and more insidious books"; but you can't say "more insidious other books". Therefore it is probable that you shouldn't use a comma.

This is strictly confirmed by the examples that can be obtained from the books. Here is a list of combinations of the same type found in Google books.

     other more recent books
     other more advanced books
     other more detailed books
     other more specialized books
     other more technical books
     other more general books
     other more modern books
     other more important books
     other more comprehensive books
     other more serious books

¹ Correction due to a comment of user Abcderia's: '[…] I do think you can say "other and more insidious books." Is it not a parenthetical when enclosed with commas, and just a slightly old-school stylistic tic?'.

A research on Google books with "other and more * §" replacing successively "§" by the nouns in the two lists below, yielded nothing for the first one but plenty of results for the second.

• "books", "attitudes", "intentions", "cars", "outlooks", "pupils"
• "thoughts", "worries", "ways", "means", "people","responsibilities"

Results

   - thoughts: special, agreeable, solemn, painful, serious, important
   - worries: serious
   - ways: effective, important, subtle, direct, recondite, profitable, satisfactory, practical,                  serious, effectual
   - means: efficient, direct, certain, powerful, simple, accurate, effectual, legitimate, effective,                     economical
   - people: designing, fortunate, important
   - responsibilities: pressing, important

As a consequence of this outcome, I think that there is no problem saying or writing "other and more insidious books".
