Is there any way to change 5e defaults?

I want to change the default portfolio setting so that it always selects 27 point buy instead of my having to change it every time I want to make a character. Currently it defaults to standard array so there must be some way of setting the order, or even eliminating standard array as even being an option?
 
Okay, so Supposing you know how to use the Hero Lab Editor you can create a new file named something like "DropBear_CustomCreation.user" Now you are going to create two duplicated Creation Methods. Under the General tab, click on the Creation Method tab.
Hit Duplicate and duplicate both the Point buy and the Fixed Scores entries. In Fixed Scores, go to Tags button in the upper right and delete the Helper Create Def tag. Push okay and then find the Replaces Thing Id box under Auto-Add Only? Enter StandArray in that box. finally Up at the top in the Unique Id box enter in some Id string that you like FixScorSux. So hit the save button in the lower left which should prompt you to save you file if you haven't.
Next go to your copy of Point buy. Click on Tags and enter the following Group Id: Helper, Tag Id: CreateDef, Name: Default creation method, Abbrev: Default creation method. Hit OK. In the Replaces thing Id box enter: creaPoint. name it something in the UniqueId box like PntBuyRulz. hit Save. Now you should try to compile this (Ctrl-T) it will tell you something like it can't because it is in use. Make sure to tell you're computer it is being a little whiny pants. go to the normal Hero Lab window and go to File->Switch Game System. When it asks you to switch, tell Hero Lab the following (this must be said aloud of none of this will work) "Haha,fooled you stupid. I'm going back into 5e!" Then reload the fifth edition. All should be as you want it.

CTRL-R works way easier to just "reload" the current game system. Less clicks and no verbal abuse to the computer. :)
