type 3 LSA from Area 0 vs. type 3 LSA from non Area 0

When having to choose between a summary LSA from Area0
and a summary LSA from non-area 0 , OSPF will always choose
the link-state from area zero (regardless of the cost of the route).

Is there any way to change this behavior and prefer the non-zero area ?

Thanks
