menuentry 'System setup' $menuentry_id_option 'uefi-firmware' {

2. Select the expected entry name, for example `‘Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-45-generic’
3. $ sudo vim /etc/default/grub
   Modify the GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT="1>Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-45-generic"
   After that, the /etc/default/grub maybe something like the following:

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_DEFAULT="1>Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-45-generic"
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

4. $ sudo update-grub

The settings will have effect the next boot.
