title: Select Default Option - Bootstrap 4
body: <p>I have the following code, based on Bootstrap 4:</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div class="form-group row"&gt;
    &lt;label class="col-sm-2"&gt;Choose from: &lt;/label&gt;
    &lt;div class="col-sm-10"&gt;
      &lt;select class="form-control"&gt;
        &lt;option&gt;Opt 1&lt;/option&gt;
        &lt;option&gt;Opt 2&lt;/option&gt;
        &lt;option&gt;Opt 3&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;/select&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>

  <p>But I wish to have <strong>Opt 2</strong> selected by default <strong><em>without</em></strong> changing the order of the options. Preferably without additional javascript also. How?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
