It's just that when you look up the label you get a list in reverse = order: last one first.
Would it be really clearer to reverse it at again when printing?

Also on the new warning (thanks for the quick change!): I find it a
bit strange that the message gives a list of possibilities then says
"The first one was selected", while in my mental model the *last*=
declared type is chosen by default. I don't know if it's actually possible to list types by declaration order (levels?), but maybe you
could at least arrange so that the selected one appears last? Or at
least you could reword into "The last declaration of this field has
type M.t, but types M.u and N.t would also be valid".
