Creating hierarchy in nested IF statements in Excel

In my single Excel worksheet, I have a column of asset titles (Column C) that I am comparing to a named range of asset categories based on a named range of asset keywords using the following formula:

{ =IFNA(INDEX(categories, MATCH(TRUE, ISNUMBER(SEARCH(keywords, C2 )), 0)), "Other")}

The formula works fine UNTIL one of the asset titles fits into more than one category. For example, an asset might be both a demonstration and a video.

Where an asset fulfills multiple categories, I know which one I'd prefer. (For example, my asset that is both a video and a demonstration should go in the "Demonstration" category.)

What I can't seem to figure out is how to express this preference in my formula. I tried creating my named range in my order of preference, but this didn't seem to solve the problem. (And, in some instances, that order isn't constant.) Would appreciate any suggestions.

I AM ON A MAC, so please NO VBA. Thank you!
