I would liek to change the default shipping method. At the moment I offer 2 different ones and the wrong one is selected by default. (radio button) I found this code in the checkout_shipping.php file:

<?php
		} else {
		  for ($j=0, $n2=sizeof($quotes[$i]['methods']); $j<$n2; $j++) {
// set the radio button to be checked if it is the method chosen
			$checked = (($quotes[$i]['id'] . '_' . $quotes[$i]['methods'][$j]['id'] == $shipping['id']) ? true : false);

			if ( ($checked == true) || ($n == 1 && $n2 == 1) ) {
			  echo '				  <tr id="defaultSelected" class="moduleRowSelected" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "\n";
			} else {
			  echo '				  <tr class="moduleRow" onmouseover="rowOverEffect(this)" onmouseout="rowOutEffect(this)" onclick="selectRowEffect(this, ' . $radio_buttons . ')">' . "\n";
			}
?>

What do I need to change to get the other shipping method to be the default one?
If you know the answer could you also let me knwo how it works or how i can find out more about php?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,
You can change the sort order in admin/modules/shipping(  if there is a  0 entered anywhere he will always be the default)

I only have one shipping module (USPS), so changing the sort order in admin/modules/shipping is not applicable because there is only one choice.

Within the USPS module, I offer 3 shipping options:  Parcel Post, Priority Mail, and Express Mail.  The current default is parcel post since it is the cheapest.  I would like to change the default to be Priority Mail, regardless of cost, but can't figure out how make the radio button for Priority Mail to be the default.  Thanks!
