This should be fixed in at least Yakkety and Xenial with upstream commit a7c8e5c6e9aad. This being " Please provide a mechanism whereby Wi-Fi networks can be prioritized" in Network-Manager. Clearly, there are still further possible improvements and upstream is already discussing a few in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737356 but wifi priorities has been implemented and thus this ticket shall be closed as fixed. It's good to see upstream reversing their initial stance. Too bad trusty most likely won't see this fix.

NM connects to 1st available network in alphabetical order. But at my home NM connects to slow and unstable free network and I want to connect to my own wifi router.
