Ubuntu: Change menu order in GRUB loader

GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader. This is to enable the listing of multiple operating systems so the users could choose the OS of their choice. To change the menu order we need to edit a file called menu.lst # vi /boot/grub/menu.lst Look for a line "default 0". This is the option to indicate that the first menu on the list should be loaded by default. In order for you to set the default menu content in the GRUB loader that needs to get started you can set this parameter. This is of the form "default <ID>" where ID = N -1. If there are 4 list items in the menu and if you want to load the 4th item by default, you need to set this configuration setting to "default 3". Another option for you is to have the menu list with the entry "savedefault = true". This would enable the last used menu entry to get loaded during the next boot.
