If two triggers would otherwise fire at the same time then alphabetical
order is used to break ties. But in all situations before triggers will
always fire before after triggers.

But since you haven't show us the exact CREATE TRIGGER statements you are
using whether that is why yours are not behaving is impossible to tell.

Also, you say "it seems" - can you put forth specific proof that one is
firing before the other?
