To edit grub.cfg
Navigate to /boot/grub/ in terminal.
*sudo chmod +x grub.cfg*
Now open the file in some editor as superuser.
Rearranging the *menuentry* (ie. *menuentry "OS" { blah...blah...}* ) will
rearrange the order of listings.
To remove memtest+ entries either comment those menuentries or delete it.
Menuentry means from keyword *menuentry* to the closing brace, ie *'}'*.Statutory Warning: Editing grub.cfg is injurious to the health of grub. Therefore make backups before you try any changes. If you do screw up things boot up using a live cd and replace the corrupt grub.cfg with the one you had backed-up.
