As Allan says, just edit the menu.lst - nobody thinks you're a nut for 
wanting Windows last :-)

fwiw, it appears you haven't actually installed Linux yet.  If you 
install Ubuntu after Windows it will set itself up to be first on the 
boot menu, then Windows.  ime (though limited) it usually finds other 
Linux distros too, and they may be placed before or after Windows.  In 
any case, I'd install Windows, then the "other" linux distro, then 
Ubuntu and edit menu.lst if required.
