You're right that this should be number 2. However the profile loader
would have to be rewritten to support that. The ConfigParser module
Zenmap uses to read scan_profiles.usp doesn't provide for recovering the
order of entries in a file. It turns out "Intense scan" has been the
default all this time simply because it comes first alphabetically.
Removing the sorting wouldn't help, because then the profiles come up in
a random order.

I'm willing to take a stab at modifying ConfigParser, if that's OK. I
think this is an important feature, it's really not user-friendly if
the user has to resort to alphabetical ordering to make a profile the
default one (such as creating an "aaa My Profile", to make it appear
first in the list).

It would also be nice if there was a way to let the user *select*
which profile is the default. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Vladimir
