Path cost takes precedence over port priority.
Priority — Defines the priority value of the port. The priority value
influences the port choice when a bridge has two ports connected in a
loop. The priority value is between 0-240. The priority value is
determined in increments of 16.
If the path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port with
the highest priority (that is, lowest value) will be configured as an
active link in the spanning tree.
Where more than one port is assigned the highest priority, the port
with lowest numeric identifier will be enabled.
