New - Hide paid shipping rates when free is available. DOES show Local Pickup. Considered ANY shipping rate that is $0 as free (so the 'Free shipping' shipping method is not a requirement)

I was very pleased to find this code doing exactly what I needed - the only thing is that it sets local pickup as default and lists it first although I have set it to the end of the list in the backend. Is there any way to mark the free shipping as default instead of local pickup and move pickup to the end of the list?

Hi,

It works for me not completely. It works when it is free shipping, but ones it isn't free shipping, but local pickup is enabled, the flat rate isn't displayed...so only the local pickup is displayed. It looks like the script thinks local pickup is free, so that that's the shipping a customer should choose. But a flat rate is also possible of course.

Realy handy thanks for your contribution !
