Is there a way to set the default command module in VAB/SPH?

So I was building a plane with 2 command modules and one of them had to be turned the wrong way, everything was fine as its function is just to carry one Kerbal. Then I decided to switch out the main command module for another one, and now the default module used on launch is the one that faces the wrong way, even though the new main cockpit is the root part.

If I forget to press 'control from here' on the main cockpit, the plane crashes upon takeoff. Not a big deal I guess, but it's a bit annoying. Luckily I don't play on hard mode. Is there a way to have a certain cockpit preferred on launch, or is it always the one placed first?

Try setting the preferred cockpit as the root part in the VAB/SPH.

I'm not sure, but that might work.

Happy landings!

I'd just make the rest of the rocket a subassembly and rebuild the command modules to fix that.
