nmcli connection modify wdn connection.autoconnect-priority 10
On my system that makes it:
rinzwind@schijfwereld:~$ nmcli -f autoconnect-priority,name c
AUTOCONNECT-PRIORITY NAME
5 schijfwereld-2.4g
10 schijfwereld-5g
-999 UTP
10 wdn
A higher numbers gets a higher priority.
Depending on the Ubuntu release and flavour
nm-connection-editor
might include this option. You can access that also from the dropdown in the panel and from settings, WIFI.
