ZF2 form filters and validators. In which cases validators execute first?

I have form in ZF2 with input text and file fields. The fields has filters and validators. In text fields filters execute first, in file fields validators execute first. Why does it happen?

In ZF2, Filters are in general applied before Validation. Except, as you've mentionned, with the FileInput Filter which is only applied if $form->getData() is called.

The reason is that we need to make sure that the $_FILES entry is valid before we do anything irrevocable (moving the file into a storage directory, renaming it,... etc). For this reason, file filters need to be invoked after validation.
