what controls the default sort order

I'm putting together a new ZenCart template. What controls the DEFAULT Sort Order for Template in "Tools -> Layout Box Controller"?

So when admin clicks the "reset" at the bottom of that page, it reverts to the sort order that I define. But where do I define this?

Re: what controls the default sort order

It uses the master settings stored for the hidden "default" records in the layout_boxes database table. There is no interface for editing those in v1.3.x. However, in the in-development 2.0 version there will be an option to edit the master settings, and the ability to apply those master settings to different templates on demand.
For now if you really must change it, you can edit the database table directly using phpMyAdmin. USE AT OWN RISK. And be sure to make backups FIRST!
