Of course, one should note that bar sinister is an absurd concept, since a bar is a horizontal ordinary and does not come in regular and sinister varieties. The correct term is bend sinister, the bend being a diagonal ordinary. Note also that ordinary, in this context, is a noun and not an adjective, so is not an example of a postpositive.
