How Does Sonarr Determine which File to Download?

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere (I haven’t found an answer).
There may be multiple files that satisfies the Profile/Quality settings (e.g. 720p, and size 800 MB - 2 GB). How does Sonarr determine which one to download? Is it random?

For usenet newer is preferred as well, given all things being equal it will pick one. If you do a manual search you can see the order that Sonarr would try them in, skipping anything thats rejected (too big, too small, quality not wanted, etc).
