Usually the style compute the label priority based on population tags. For example, IIRC Villeurbanne is more populated than Lyon.

Some styles, like the French one, have more complicated rules, taking in account admin_level and such.

Thanks H_mlet, Even Villeurbanne (150khab) is less populated than Lyon (500khab). Of course ! I really don't understand because if there were another rules, that would be to fix some issues and reflect the real cultural et central position of cities compared with their suburbs... Have a nice weekend !
