Description
The current handbook describes very well the order of initialization for base class vs derived class. But I failed to find any documentation on when are contructor property parameters initialized. I believe they are initialized before class field initializers. This was critical info that I lacked and had to dig deeper to find it.
Please add this information to the paragraph that describes constructor property parameters. https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/classes.html#parameter-properties

Research direction
Start with the handbook's Classes page at the linked Parameter Properties section and read the surrounding paragraph. Add the missing explanation of when constructor parameter properties are initialized relative to class field initializers, then confirm the section clearly describes the initialization order.
