Grub does not choose latest kernel by default

I installed a 6.0.2 kernel, in addition to my existing lts kernel

pacman -Q | grep linux                                            20:35:34
archlinux-appstream-data-pamac 1:20221014-1
archlinux-keyring 20220927-1
garuda-video-linux-config 1:r62.889aefa-7
lib32-util-linux 2.38.1-1
linux 6.0.2.arch1-1
linux-api-headers 5.18.15-1
linux-firmware 20220913.f09bebf-1
linux-firmware-whence 20220913.f09bebf-1
linux-headers 6.0.2.arch1-1
linux-lts 5.15.74-1
linux-lts-headers 5.15.74-1
linux-wifi-hotspot 4.4.0-1
linuxconsole 1.8.1-1
util-linux 2.38.1-1
util-linux-libs 2.38.1-1

but in order to load it, I need to go into the advanced tab of grub every time I boot, and choose it from the list. The lts kernel is listed before the 6.0.2 kernel.
What to do?

I chose this particular 6.0.2 kernel, rather than the zen version, because it seems to play better with my wifi driver.

Almost forgot:
