This was by design.   The idea was that you find the first copy of 
something that is in the PATH.   The names were not expected to be in 
any particular order.  They were supposed to be equivalent.  If it found 
one good.  And, just like PATH it should find the first one that it 
finds.   I guess it could be an option....
