In this case, "old" applies to "little lady", not "lady" alone.

That merely follows from the order.

In "little old lady", "little" applies to "old lady", not "lady" alone.

Either way, the meaning is the same, because semantically, the actual attributes which "old" and "little" denote apply independently to the person indicated by "lady".
