I'm not sure that I understand your question but if you are asking how and when to use adjectives or adverbs:

Adjectives are used to modify nouns, e.g. The man is loud. – What is the man like? – loud

Adverbs are used to modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs, e.g. The man talks loudly. – How does the man talk? – loudly

I hope that helps smile

Now just apply what Kiwi Girl said to prepositional phrases used as an adjective or an adverb.

in the morning, at noon, by the time that we leave, etc. = prepositional phrases used as an adverb (they answer the question when)

at random, in the order that they were chosen, etc. (answer the question how)

modifying verb, adjective, or other adverb

in full bloom, in full rigor, by himself, etc.= adjective modifying noun/pronoun

Whether the particular prepositional phrase is an adjective or an adverb depends on what it is modifying as Kiwi Girl states.
