Which order is the route table analyzed in?

On my PC I have to following routing table: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 I don't understand how it is analyzed, I mean from top-down or bottom-up? If it is analyzed from top-down then everything will always be sent to the router in my home even though the IP destination was 192.168.1.15; but what I knew (wrongly?) was that if a PC is inside my same local network then once I recovered the MAC destination through a broadcast message then my PC could send directly the message to the destination.
