 I guess You mean either:

1 | ZZZ
2 | XXX
3 | WWW

or:

ZZZ | 1
XXX | 2
WWW | 3

You do not need any quotes in the Items field when editing via the ZMI;
the Field knows there are strings anyway.

 In this case You should be able to put:

 WWW 

 (in the first case) or: 

 3

 (in the second case) to be able to select the third item by default. 
At least it works for me when I tests this.

Hope this helps,
Clemens
