Subject: Question on move ordering?

I have a question on move ordering.

The following list is how I think the order should be for determining the moves
to be searched.  I know that as I add PVS, NEGASCOUT, or other variations of
this theme to my search function, move ordering is important.  Any help with
this list in terms or order of importance or includion/exclusion would be
appreciated.

1. Hash table move
2. PV move
3. Killer move/moves
4. Promotions
5. Captures
6. All other moves.

I realize that in some positions, some of these moves may end up being the same.
 I.E. the hash table move and the PV move may be the same move.

Thanks in advance.
