What determines how a specific cell-style influences grouping of cells?

For example "Text" following "Subtitle" is grouped but not following "Text"

nbtitle = CreateDocument[];
NotebookWrite[nbtitle, Cell["subtitle", "Subtitle"]]
NotebookWrite[nbtitle, Cell["this text gets grouped", "Text"]]

nbtext = CreateDocument[];
NotebookWrite[nbtext, Cell["some text", "Text"]];
NotebookWrite[nbtext, Cell["this text is not grouped", "Text"]];

title

text

All I can find in the documentation is:

Within a given notebook, there is always a collection of styles that can be used to determine the appearance and behavior of cells. Typically the styles are named so as to reflect what role cells which have them will play in the notebook.

    $\begingroup$ Each style has parameter CellGroupingRules or inherit it. If it is what you are looking for then I post it as answer (with some examples). $\endgroup$

The option that governs this behaviour is CellGroupingRules

By changing the grouping I can make sections group under text e.g.

due to

Notice that a number accompanies the grouping assignment. This allows you to allocate an order to the grouping -- lower numbers have higher rank.
