Priority of rules in Makefile!!!

Consider in a makefile i have the target defined as:

pgm: a.o b.o
cmd;

To build .o, 2 rules are defind

.pc.o:
cmds
.c.o:
cmds

My question is which rule will take priority for compiling a.o and b.o when the target pgm is built.

Despite the positoning of the 2 rules, .c.o always takes the priority. How to set the 1st priority to .pc.o ?
