Narrative:
Cleared for the ILS 16R at sea and established on the localizer; prior to bugne; sea approach control advised new cleared for the localizer 16R. [GPS] was set-up 'vectors-to-final' and #2 nav set-up to the localizer. I started flipping thru approaches to bring-up the fixes; the weather was bad; faster traffic behind me; using the #2 nav/DME; I had the field in sight; and continuing to flip thru the approaches to bring-up the fixes. My altitude was then 2;700 feet prior to bugne (3;200 ft) and then approach control advised me to 'cross bugne at 2;700 feet.' then halfway between bugne and finka (1;900 feet); the gilde slope came alive and I continued to landing.after landing and waiting for clearance to cross 16L; I flipped thru the approaches again; pressed agane fix and there was what I was trying to get. I can only explain that I had a brain-lock at the worst possible time.
