This may be added by BIOS / Setup :-)

Use efibootmgr as imp suggested and add another entry with desired
boot information, you may then select this new entry as the default.
It will show up in BIOS / Setup menu and you can change order over
there.. but the entry needs to be added with efibootmgr :-)

No worries I had the same problem too some time ago, also found
reference to bootme flag which did not work (should be removed from
man pages?). Now I sometimes use F8 at boot to select different system
to boot.. but there are good looking menu like bootloaders for UEFI
like reEFInd [1], Clover [2], LibreBoot [3]. Maybe we need some more
documentation on this? :-)
