Transform hook run before load hook on webpack

[jzymx50]

Environment

"unplugin": "^1.4.0", "webpack": "^5.88.2",

Reproduction

const unplugin = createUnplugin((options) => {
  return {
    name: 'test',
    load(id) {
      console.log(id,'load hook')
      return null
    },
    transform() {
      console.log('transform hook')
      return null
    },
    buildStart() {
      console.log('build start hook')
    }
  }
})

The console outputs are:

build start hook
transform hook
C:\xxx\src\index.js load hook

Describe the bug

From the source code, I found out the transform hook was handled before the load hook. And unshift() was used to put the generated loader into the webpack config. Should the load hook be handled earlier than the transform hook?
