Selecting one value from column of another table with multiple values (Based on hierarchy criteria

I am trying to pull one value into a new table based on a column in another table with multiple values. The key is, I want to pull one distinct value based on a criteria. The values in the 2nd table are as:

NameValue
A1
A1
A2
B1
B1
B3
C1
C1
C4
D1
D1
D5
E1
E1
E4

 

Desired result is below as:

Pull the distinct value but:

If the value 2 is present, then pull 2

If the value 5 is present, then pull 5

If the value 1 is present, then pull 1

 

NameValue
A2
B1
C1
D5
E1
