NetworkManager 1.0 has a feature called autoconnect-priority. Currently,
you can't set that yet from the GUI via nm-connection-editor, but you
can use the commandline tool

nmcli connection edit <connection>
> print

will show you the current connection.autoconnect-priority property is
set to.
You can use set con<TAB>.a<TAB> to change the value

Higher values take precedence.


While this fixes your issue, I'm keeping this bug open, as there is no
GUI yet for this option.
