I know there's a contribution for this, but for those who simply want to set to default a shipping method of his/her choice, which is not the cheapest, then here is a simpler, quicker way of doing it:

1. open [catalog]includes/classes/shipping.php for edit. Look for at around line 112 & 115 these two lines of code:

CODE

$cheapest = $rates[$i];

and change both to:

CODE

$cheapest = $rates[0];

2. in admin, modules - shipping, give/change the sort order of the shipping method you want to set as default to 1, ie, the top most, or you will need to the '0' in

CODE

$rates[0]

as shown above to a number that corresponds to your chosen shipping method's sort order, eg, 1 for sort order 2.

No other change is needed.

Was just about to install that contribution as I've just setup a store pickup rate (which then became the default choice as its free - not too great) - you have saved me a lot of time. Thanks!
