to optimize, instead of using a string in gender value, it is wise to use a value of 0 and 1 (1-Male, 0-Female).

so instead of using:

if($gender == 'male')

you can use

if($gender) or if($gender==1)

that saves a few bytes...

[cold_fusion]

No need to change the order but you need to add a default selection.
This is done by adding 'selected="selected"' inside the <selection> tag.

For example, to make "Male" the default displayed:
<select name="gender" >
<option value="female">Female</option>
<option value="male" selected="selected" >Male</option>
</select>

Changing to make the default at to be first is counter-intuitive. For example you want to select a City which the case can display hundreds of choices and in sorted. Adding "selected" is the right way.

taking consideration the inputs of tynum and cold_fusion, plus the optimization:

$result = mysql_fetch_array($querystring);

echo "<select name="gender">";

if( $result[Gender] == 1 ) {
   echo '<option value="1" selected="selected">Male</option>';
   echo '<option value="0">Female</option>';
} else {
   echo '<option value="1">Male</option>';
   echo '<option value="0" selected="selected">Female</option>';
}

echo "</select>";
