Open gnome-control-center -> Display
and when the external monitor is attached, drag the upper black bar to
the monitor, which you want to be the primary display.

See the attached screenshot.

In my case, I also switch off the internal latop display as soon as my
laptop is docked. This works like a charm for me.
