The upgrade-config.pl script does attempt to re-sort the options.
When I looked in detail though I find that it misses out the default
option and doesn't resort it to the very bottom of the list.
The patch below should be applied to the upgrade-config.pl script, it
will fix the problem by looking for the "default" option in the old
config file and moving it to the bottom.
