Subject: move ordering question

The transposition table will tell us if a move is more desired than the other
moves.  So will iterative deepening and iterative iterative deepending.  In both
cases it seems necessary to sort the moves from most prefered to least prefered.
 What is the method for doing this?  Is it just a standard sort routine?

When doing move generation on a position that we haven't seen before, could
we do things like sort captures to the top of the list, especially when a more
valuable piece is being captured.
