that answers my question, if nothing is specified routes are
redistributed into ISIS as L2 routes, and if you specify "level-1-2"
redistribute both as L1 and L2. But L1 are prefer so only they show up.

yes I was redistributing into an L-1-2 .

It was just not clear the behaviour of level-1-2 option in this case,
and documentation only talks about the case when you redistribute from
ISIS and use these options.

Thanks to all for answers
