I already told you the solution to that.

There is a priority system in network manager.

Otherwise it will connect to whatever it connected to last time, or 
sometimes not

If you have more than one connection profile use:

sudo nmcli c modify MYCONNECTIONNAME   connection.autoconnect-priority 1

Randomly created connections are default priority zero

This is also an accessible parameter from the GUI widget if you have a 
GUI interface

It will then at least try only that SSID *first*

Or delete any alternative connection profiles.
