Defining nav. order after playing chapter

I've got a DVD that has 3 short episodes. There's a button on the menu for each episode. I have set it up to return to the menu after each episode plays. Works great, but each time it returns to the menu, the defalut button is highlighted. Can I set it up so that after playing episode 1 and returning to the menu, the episode 2 button will be highlighted?

Thanks!

Create new identical menues except that each has a different default button. Link to the appropriate new menu as the end action from each episode.

Using DVDA2, for each of the three clips: Double-click the clip in the Project Overview window. Go to the End Actions section of the Properties window and change the Destination setting to the name of the menu you want to return to. (For this, "Most recent menu" is not good enough.) Under that is the Destination Button setting; change this to the button that you want to be selected after the clip finishes. Done. Note that, if the viewer presses the Menu button while watching a clip, they'll end up back at the default button. The clip has to end of its own volition for end actions to work.

Using DVDA1: See Chienworks' post.

[Edit: Strike that last line. I just remember DVDA1 doesn't have end actions. Okay, for DVDA1, you'd need a third party program.]
