Still feels wonky, maybe this:

PERHAPS:
    For IP prefix values (destination or source) the common high-order
    bits are compared. The number of common bits to compare is the
    lowest prefix-length value of the two prefixes. If the high-order
    bits are equal, the prefix with the longer prefix-length has higher
    precedence. If the common high-order bits are different, the prefix
    with the set of bits that represent the lowest numeric value takes
    higher precedence.

If others chime in here that would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Job
