a confusion question!

[james gong]

pls read the following code:
class A
{
public A()
{
System.out.println("AAA");
}

System.out.println("456");

}
public class B extends A
{
B()
{
this(12);
System.out.println("BBB");
}
B(int x)
{
System.out.println("CCC");
}

System.out.println("123");

public static void main(String[] args)
{
new B();
}
}
the out is:
456
AAA
123
CCC
BBB

But I think the when the just the time the class is loaded the static method should be execute [the system.out.print() is static method ],as a result, the 123 should be change to after the AAA,I think the out should be :
456
123
AAA
CCC
BBB

I am wrong ,I am sure .but I am confused .I cant find myself on the issue.I will be very glad if somebody clear me .

Here is the order of initialization:
1)Super class's static blocks and static variable declaration & initialization(as per their order).
2)Sub class's static blocks and static variable declaration & initialization(as per their order).
3)Super class's non-static blocks and non-static variable declaration & initialization(as per their order).
4)Super class's constructor.
5)Sub class's non-static blocks and non-static variable declaration & initialization(as per their order).
6)Sub class's constructor.
The original code will not compile. The following will:
class A
{
public A()
{
System.out.println("AAA");
}
{System.out.println("456");}
}
public class B extends A
{
B()
{
this(12);
System.out.println("BBB");
}
B(int x)
{
System.out.println("CCC");
}
{System.out.println("123");}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new B();
}
}

the output seems doesnt print out according the order you give.
in my opinion the output should be ;
456
123
AAA
CCC
BBB
