order of execution of process builder, trigger which one runs first?

If I have define a flow in process builder which runs after the record is created then which one runs first ?Trigger or Proces builder?

This is explained here (https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=workflow_flow_action_considerations.htm&language=en_US).

When flows are launched from workflow rules that are triggered by bulk loads or imports, the flows’ data manipulation language (DML) operations are executed in bulk to reduce the number of calls required and to optimize system performance. The execution of any of the following flow elements qualifies as a DML operation: Record Create, Record Update, Record Delete, Fast Create, Fast Update, or Fast Delete. For example, suppose that you use Data Loader or the Bulk API to update 50 records, and those updates meet the criteria of a workflow rule with a flow trigger action.

This has a clearer explanation of the order of execution of Triggers -> Workflows - > Process Builder.   Please see link: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_triggers_order_of_execution.htm

From this link Flow Trigger Considerations (Pilot) (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=workflow_flow_action_considerations.htm&type=5)

In a transaction, flow triggers are executed after all workflow field updates, including any Apex triggers and standard validations that are executed as a result of those workflow field updates. After executing flow triggers, the system executes escalation rules.
