OK, your answer is more like what I was looking for. But the original order is strange for me. Can I use this order in sentences like example below?
------------
1. 我做两个工作，老师，警察 ---> 我做老师，警察两个工作
--------------
2. 我喜欢两种水果，苹果，芒果 ---> 我喜欢苹果，芒果两种水果

@musialmi Yes，except  for the first one.  The measure word for 工作 is 份，so we can say 我做两份工作，老师和警察。

<p>According to 百度：</p>

<p>喝彩，是汉语词汇，汉语拼音为hè cǎi 。
过去指的是是赌博掷骰子，呼喝作势，希望中彩。

<p>and for 倒彩：</p>

<p>指观众在看演出或其他的表演时，故意发出不满的怪叫声。
老舍 《四世同堂》五八：“她不能随便得罪人，以至招出个倒彩来。” 张天翼 《谭九先生的工作》：“演戏呢，也一定会弄得一蹋糊涂，台底下的人都喝着倒彩，一个个把茶壶茶杯摔上台去。” </p>

<p>正彩：doesn't seem to be a word, but can be taken to mean the opposite of 倒彩 here.</p>

<p>All in all I think we have:</p>
