Subject: Juniors way of sorting the branches in each iteration

Has anybody of you ever seen how Junior is sorting the branches ?

Junior is strange. the move order of the branches in each iteration is
1.best-move whatever
than pawn moves
knight-moves
bishop moves
rook moves
queen moves
king-moves and than another iteration the same.
Normally it starts with 9 or 11. Often it jumps over the 13 ply although
I have seen it in another position.
?????
13 is not a good number ! I have heard in US some hotels do not have a
13th floor !! :-)

Does it sort the branches into piece-types ????
How does this fit together with the alpha-beta ???
What is this ???
Any ideas ?
