From the entry for postpositive in The Oxford Dictionary of English Grammar:
Postpositive position is obligatory for adjectives modifying indefinite pronouns and adverbs (e.g. nobody special, somewhere quiet; in certain set expressions (e.g. heir apparent, the body politic); and with some adjectives in particular meanings (e.g. the members present, the parents involved).
