In what order do static/instance initializer blocks in Java run?

Say a project contains several classes, each of which has a static initializer block. In what order do those blocks run? I know that within a class, such blocks are run in the order they appear in the code. I've read that it's the same across classes, but some sample code I wrote disagrees with that. I used this code:

package pkg;

public class LoadTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("START");
        new Child();
        System.out.println("END");
    }
}

class Parent extends Grandparent {
    // Instance init block
    {
        System.out.println("instance - parent");
    }

    // Constructor
    public Parent() {
        System.out.println("constructor - parent");
    }

    // Static init block
    static {
        System.out.println("static - parent");
    }
}

class Grandparent {
    // Static init block
    static {
        System.out.println("static - grandparent");
    }

    // Instance init block
    {
        System.out.println("instance - grandparent");
    }

    // Constructor
    public Grandparent() {
        System.out.println("constructor - grandparent");
    }
}

class Child extends Parent {
    // Constructor
    public Child() {
        System.out.println("constructor - child");
    }

    // Static init block
    static {
        System.out.println("static - child");
    }

    // Instance init block
    {
        System.out.println("instance - child");
    }
}

and got this output:

START
static - grandparent
static - parent
static - child
instance - grandparent
constructor - grandparent
instance - parent
constructor - parent
instance - child
constructor - child
END

The obvious answer from that is that parents' blocks run before their children's, but that could just be a coincidence and doesn't help if two classes aren't in the same hierarchy.

EDIT:

I modified my example code by appending this to LoadTest.java:

class IAmAClassThatIsNeverUsed {
    // Constructor
    public IAmAClassThatIsNeverUsed() {
        System.out.println("constructor - IAACTINU");
    }

    // Instance init block
    {
        System.out.println("instance - IAACTINU");
    }

    // Static init block
    static {
        System.out.println("static - IAACTINU");
    }
}

As implied by the class name, I never referenced the new class anywhere. The new program produced the same output as the old one.

The static initializer for a class gets run when the class is first accessed, either to create an instance, or to access a static method or field.

So, for multiple classes, this totally depends on the code that's run to cause those classes to get loaded.
