Another special exception for "dernières années"?

As far as I can tell from elsewhere, when année dernière is pluralized, as in "the last few years," and the translation involves those specific two words ("les quelques dernières années," "ces dernières années") the order here is also an exception, no?

I have also come across this and I am glad I found your post, Andy. I'm thinking the same. Hopefully an expert can confirm.
