The boot order is determined by grub automatically the order is normally 
the last Linux distro installed, any other OS's installed. (I am not 
completely sure how this order is determined). So if you have installed 
Windows, Ubuntu, and Debian in this order the boot menu would likely be 
Debian, Ubuntu, then Windows. Debian as the last installed would be first.

As far as cleaning Windows, I have seen recommendations for doing a 
complete reinstall every 1 to 2 years to clean out all the accumulated 
garbage that you can not get rid of. The time period depends on how much 
adding/deleting of software is done. This beyond the normal virus scans, 
general cleanup, defrag, etc required.
