One of options is to manipulate priority (sequence), you can add sequence to your view like this:

<record model="ir.ui.view" id="some_id">
            <field name="name">some.name</field>
            <field name="model">some.model</field>
            <field eval="1" name="priority"/>
            <field name="arch" type="xml">
            . . . .

lower number of priority means higher priority. AFAIK it should not be negative, so Highest priority is 0 then. so if you set your view's priority to 0 or 1, then it'll become default one.
