I have four e-mail accounts, but the wrong one is at the top of the list. How do I change things so that the fourth one can become the first one?

When I start Thunderbird, the same one of my four e-mail addresses/accounts is always at the top of the list. However over the years I have added three other e-mail addresses, and I would like the newest one to be the default address at the top of the list. How can I change tthe order of the list so that my most recenty added e-mail address becomes the top of the list default one?
