Define default user in LightDM

Hello,

on my Arch Linux system exists 2 user accounts.
When I boot the system, I always get <userA> preselected.

How can I modify LightDM to use <userB> as default user?

Edit:
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
and change line:
autologin-user=user-name

Actually this is totally different.
I don't want to autologin, but I want another user to be pre-selected.
Currently the user which username is first in alphabetical order is pre-selected.
