In the Workflow field update set Re-evaluate Workflow Rules after Field Change to true.then your trigger will fire!

I think this link will help you because in by this link you can understand the execution process.

 

when the field is updated by work flow then before and after trigger fired again only  for one time.

After field update then triggers & workflows related to that object will be fired again!

Re- evaluate is option, when we creating a work flow there is three option :
created
created, and every time it’s edited
created, and any time it’s edited to subsequently meet criteria

The third one very interesting because when we give the criteria in work flow which meet the criteria and change the value of the filed which we select in criteria and again we give the same value of that field and wf agian excute and to stop this we select thsi one.
