Javascript keypress/down/up events firing order

Consider this simple code:

document.addEventListener( 'keypress', function() { console.log( 'press' ); } );
document.addEventListener( 'keydown',  function() { console.log( 'down' );  } );
document.addEventListener( 'keyup',    function() { console.log( 'up' );    } );

I tried it on both Safari 9 and FF 51 and the order the events fire is always:

down -> press -> up

This makes perfect sense (at least for me).

My question is:

Is this standard behaviour or some browsers (maybe older ones like IE8) trigger key events in a different order?

More specifically I'm interested to know if some browsers fires press before down.

as long as order is concern, yes all browser will execute same order... IE8 will not support addListner event so no question for order there.. but IE9 and IE9+ will execute same order.
