@Scott: thanks. I opened a new thread because I was worried you may not see the one buried in the other thread. The entire list is short enough that I think the order doesn't matter much (of course I am not a user interface expert), as long as we have a sensible default.

Oops, I didn't see this thread, but I've done it already after reading the other thread where this came up! All I did was move "Community" to the top.

Please feel free to suggest an ordering, if you think the current one can be improved further.

Is it possible to re-order the category listing (or change the default) on the "Start a new discussion" form?

I ask because I am pedantic and have seen a few discussions here on Meta that accidentally ended up under "Feature Requests", presumeably because the poster was not completely familiar with the interface and the form defaults to it. I think a more sensible default value for the category should be "General" or "Community".
