Maybe you could try this:



http://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/how-to-change-the-boot-order-of-a-dual-boot-linux-pc/


ie use an ubuntu package called StartUp-Manager

also see the grub cusomizer package used in ubuntu produced by Daniel
Richter:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1664134

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gaImxC-grU

It can change boot order.

There is another package for Ubuntu called rEFind that might be helpful:
