This is a feature of grub2. In grub1, the order was specified manually
in grub.conf. In grub2, the order is magically created by a mess of bash
scripts. When installing a new kernel, it magically runs
some magic commands to make itself the default kernel to boot. None of this
is documented anywhere.

If you want sane booting, switch to syslinux.
