STP root port selection is based on port priority which, by default, is
based upon the interface speed. If they're equal I believe the lowest
port address wins.

You're talking switches right? Why post to a bridge list? You'd be

Subject: [Bridge] Election of root port
Hi,
I have a situation where in there are 2 switches A and B.
port 0 of A is connected to port 0 of B
port 1 of A is connected to port 1 of B
all the four ports are in auto negotiation and 100mbps
Last byte of MAC of A = 7F
Last byte of MAC of B = 7E
(remaining bytes of the MAC address are identical)
Considering the switch B will be elected as root bridge which port of
switch A will be root port.
Will this configuration work perpetually?
