Use the MenuPosition option at the notebook level for the stylesheet.  
Mathematica sorts the stylesheet menu by the numerical values of the 
stylesheets' MenuPosition option, then alphabetically where equivalent values 
are used.  Built-in stylesheets will have a MenuPosition in the 1000-2000 range,so choosing a value below 1000 will always get your stylesheet before the 
built-in ones, if that's what you want (that information also applies for 
MenuPosition as used for individual named styles, as well).
