How does the message app know which phone number to use for a contact that has multiple?

How do you select which phone number to use for contacts that have multiple phones (work, home, mobile)?

I select the addressee by typing their name. If you don't remember if they have multiple numbers, what order or selection criteria does IOS use? I would think it would use mobile, but that does not always work.

iPhone SE, iOS 16
