Ah, sorry. Postgis data store queries the geometry_columns table to
detect which fields are geometries, and just picks the first geometric
column as the default one for rendering.
There's no way to override this process.
Yet, you can force whatever geometry you want (should you have more
than one) by using an SLD that references the geometry column
in the symbolizer.

Hope this helps
Cheers
