  The holographic equilibration of a far-from-equilibrium strongly coupled
gauge theory is investigated. The dynamics of a probe D7-brane in an AdS-Vaidya
background is studied in the presence of an external time-dependent electric
field. Defining the equilibration times $t_{eq}^c$ and $t_{eq}^j$, at which
condensation and current relax to their final equilibrated values, receptively,
the smallness of transition time $k_M$ or $k_E$ is enough to observe a
universal behaviour for re-scaled equilibration times $k_M k_E (t_{eq}^c)^{-2}$
and $k_M k_E (t_{eq}^j)^{-2}$. Moreover, regardless of the values for $k_M$ and
$k_E$, $t_{eq}^c/t_{eq}^j$ also behaves universally for large enough value of
the ratio of the final electric field to final temperature. Then a simple
discussion of the static case reveals that $t_{eq}^c \leq t_{eq}^j$. For an
out-of-equilibrium process, our numerical results show that, apart from the
cases for which $k_E$ is small, the static time ordering persists.
