event handling - How significant is the order with jQuery's trigger-method? -

i want provide way utilize on-event handler outside of plugin. problem is, trigger not fired if provide them in wrong order.

for example, works:

$(window).on('foo:bar', function(){ alert(true); }); $(window).trigger('foo:bar');

...this, not:

$(window).trigger('foo:bar'); $(window).on('foo:bar', function(){ alert(true); });

any ideas how sec approach can work?
