Meraki switch stacking STP port allocation

In a stacked switch when a port with the lowest port number is elected to become the root port for the switch, how does STP determine which switch in the stack to select the lowest port number. eg. a stack of four switches with connections in port 1/2 for all four switches

AFAIK it should prefer the master switch first. Then switch ID 2, 3, 4, etc. Although you can't necessarily see those switch IDs in dashboard. Exposing that would require a feature enhancement.
