Hi,
I don't think it will be possible like that.
The problem is not really to set the default shipping, it is to change the default shipping when an order is completely empty.
Because you are talking about the "shipping method" set in an order when you create it thought the backend, not from the front-end.
It is not possible to have a "none" shipping method in the front-end if you have some shipping methods available.
So, except by using a custom plugin to change the order created in the backend (onBeforeOrderCreated), I don't see any simple solution.
It will require some PHP skills.
