InDesign blank document presets – delete, or at least rearrange presets?

Question

InDesign blank document presets – i work in Australia where we don’t use the US page sizes, and several times a day, I create new InDesign files, and start with an A4, A3, A5 most times. Every time, I need to click ‘View all presets’ and scroll past the US sizes, down to these sizes. I would LOVE to be able to either delete or move Letter, Legal, Tabloid, Letter-Half, Legal-Half, US business card, Compact Disc (which I will never use), so I have my A3, A4, A5 at the top. I know this is only a minor thing, but it’s just something I would think is a no brainer to be able to do. I think most countries outside of the US would find this useful. Is there a way i haven’t found online, that anyone knows of?

You can set A4 or A5 as your default if you like…

Close all documents in InDesign
Go to File > Document Presets >Define
Make sure Default is selected and hit Edit
Choose your most used size from the dropdown
Hit OK twice

From there on out, when you hit Ctrl + N or go to File >New > Document, your selected size will be the default. You’ll also have that size selected in the dropdown if you need another, bypassing the US sizes at the top.
