CAP is the CAP score (Dann Corbit's stuff).  You have to download the
CAP data, then "import" it and that column will then have scores for deep
searches for each book position, and that is used in the sorting/selection
process.  The value you see shows that no CAP data is available for those
positions since you haven't downloaded/imported any.

The "sortv" column is just a number used to indicate the relative probability
of playing that move compared to others.  The higher the sortv value, the
more likely that move is to be played.  This factors in frequency the move
was played in the opening database, positional score, learned results,
etc.
