Perhaps it would be less work to try a solution using
'GRUB_DEFAULT'
The default menu entry. This may be a number, in which case it
identifies the Nth entry in the generated menu counted from zero,
or the full name of a menu entry, or the special string 'saved'.
Using the full name may be useful if you want to set a menu entry
as the default even though there may be a variable number of
entries before it.
If you set this to 'saved' then the default menu entry will be
that saved by 'GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT', 'grub-set-default', or
'grub-reboot'.
The default is '0'.
This is from 'info grub' (well, because I find it a friendlier program,
'pinfo grub').
