Have you tried changing your file open preferences by going to:
Context menu -> Properties -> Click "Change..." button, then
Move them up or down as you prefer and click OK
?
After that you should have the most preferred one first in the context menu
(which will also be the one chosen for double-clicking on the file)
And in the submenu the second most preferred one (which also be the one chosen
for middle-clicking on the file)
And then the others will in the submenu in the order that you have set.
I think it's fine as it is!
It's a pretty good design and also helps people coming from Windows where you
could change the default program from the properties too.

But looking a bit at the Open with -> Other application window, I think that
you might be able to change the default one from there too...
Have you tried to choose tick the "Always open... files with the chosen app
checkbox and then click on the program that you want to set as the new default?
