asp.net user-controls page-lifecycle

I have an aspx and inside it an ascx. From a short testing I see the PageLoad of the aspx is called before the PageLoad of the user-Control but the opposite is true for OnInit.

Does someone know what is the order of the events (page compared to a user-control inside it)

Thanks
