Change the default calendar in Thunderbird for creating events

Is it possible to change the default calendar in Thunderbird so that my google calendar is automatically used when creating a new event rather than "Home"? It would be useful when creating events not to have to remember to change the Calendar from Home to another from the drop down menu. Grateful for any help.

A default calendar is not defined. New events are created in whichever calendar is selected in the list in the Calendar Pane.

Just to check - is it not possible to change the order of the list so that my Google calendar is at the top rather than the Home one? I'm guessing not but just wanted to double check. Thanks.

Click-drag it into position (W11 - Current TB version)

Changing the order in the Calendar Pane won't affect for which account new events are defined.

I have Windows 10 and that doesn't seem to work. Never mind I'll just have to remember to select the right calendar when creating a new event. Thanks for your help.
