Synchronise: How does Premiere decide which clip/audio moves and which stays put

When I sync a shot using the Auto sync feature, either the A1 audio (which is embedded with the video in v1) shifts to a different position or in some cases, the A2 adjusts itself, but I do not know the cases. How does Premier Pro decide which will go where/when, or is there a way to choose which audio (either a1 or a2) should move?

In my experience, the 'later' clip is shifted forward, never the earlier 'back'.

 

But then I don't use sync on the timeline much anymore, I just use the multicam process which is actually Premere's primary tool intended to sync camera and second audio.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
