My question is the topic title.
My system is Antix 17.4, 32 bit.
Reason for question: recently updated kernel 4.9.0-264 appears last on my boot page kernel list, because numeric sorting places 4.9.240 higher on the list. Therefore, by default the system boots to the older kernel.[P.S.: My apologies for previously asking this question in the Kernel Upgrade Announcements thread.]

If the newer kernel is working fine, simply remove the older version.
If you would like to keep both versions then if I recall correctly you can as root edit /etc/default/grub and change the value for GRUB_DEFAULT= from 0 to whatever number it is in the list starting with 0 as the first listed item. Then as root in terminal run update-grub. I think you may also be able to set GRUB_DEFAULT= to saved so that it remembers your last selection; Though I cannot remember if this works or not? If it does it may be good to make this the default option for the ISO.Computers are like air conditioners. They work fine until you start opening Windows. ~Author Unknown
Dave,
I appreciate your quick reply and instructions. However, changing the GRUB_DEFAULT= line changes the first options list (not the kernel list).
The first options list is: 0 – AntiX, 1 – Advanced Options (kernel list), 2 – Memory Test.In my case GRUB_DEFAULT=2 selects Memory Test. (‘2’ would be the desired kernel, on the kernel list. But that list must be set by another config file somewhere.)
I guess, I can simply set GRUB_DEFAULT=1 (which would remind me to select the desired kernel, at boot).
