Hi Taylor,
I am afraid this behaviour is by design, so that ALL_BUILD can be the
first target in the generated solution and thus the Startup project by
default.
However (speaking to the wider list audience), I would really
appreciate an option to override this "by design" behaviour. For
projects which actually use the generated solutions in the IDE for
development and debugging (instead of just building it), ALL_BUILD is
useless as a startup project anyway, and it brings an inconsistency to
the Solution Explorer (not to mention the fact that it pushes to the
fore a CMake feature which is not really necessary in VS, irritating
"entrenched" Visual Studio users).
Would a patch introducing such an override option be considered
acceptable?
Related changes were proposed and Brad didn't seem to object:

Just looks like no one got around to actually work on it.
