yes,
you should use the option basecategory(#) after the command
mlogit depvar [indepvars] [weight] [if exp] [in range] , basecategory(#)

I've always found mlogit's practice of using the most frequent category as
the base category a little annoying. It is easy enough to override, but it
would be nice to be able to say something like basecategory(last) for when
you want to use the last category as the base but don't happen to remember
what its value is. It would also be nice if you could permanently set it
to go with the first or the last value, as I'm always forgetting to
override the default behavior.
