Doesn't appear to be any way to order the controllers in Win XP, and
it doesn't seem to make a difference if I set the wheel to be the one
used with older programs, which I thought was supposed to make it
number 1. Oh well, I"ll just have to go the old unplug and plug
route, because I want to keep all 3 controllers installed (which I
thought was the advantage of USB!).
