Kindle Paperwhite - Changing the default dictionary

Hello!

I've just sideloaded Collins English Dictionary via USB, and plunked the dictionary in the documents folder of my new Kindle Paperwhite.

I'd like to make Collins my default dictionary, but can't figure out how to go about it. When I go to my Kindle home screen and choose......

Settings > Device Options > Language and Dictionaries > Dictionaries

......only one dictionary shows up — the original default New Oxford American Dictionary.

And when I highlight a word in a text, it's definitions from the New Oxford American that pop up.

From within the New Oxford pop-up window, I do have the option of swiping to a new pane that lets me choose the Collins. What I'd prefer, however, is for the Collins to open first and by default. Is that doable?

Am willing to "86" the New Oxford American Dictionary, if necessary.

Kind thanks for the help.
