Shipping Options Default Radio Button

[warrenthewindmill]

I have 2 options for shipping for UK customers. A standard first class and a special delivery. The radio button that is populated by default is the special delivery and I want it to be the other one.
I've already had one customer (yes I'm actually selling now ) who has processed an order in error because he didn't change the default to standard shipping.
How can I change the default so the standard rather than special delivery radio button is the default?

Thanks,

OSC select the least expensive method by defualt? If this is the case then you would have to alter the script which builds the form. I will have to do some homework on how this works, ill report back here my findings.

I found out where this is done.

/includes/classes/shipping.php
/checkout_shipping.php

Basically there is a function called cheapest() in the shipping classes. If nothing is selected in checkout_shipping, it calls that function to return the cheapest options and checks that one.

So I simply created a new function called most_expensive() and added that to the shipping classes. And in checkout_shipping I call most_expensive() instead of cheapest().

But thanks for the reply.
