Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for adapting scan order of a transform block. An apparatus for decoding coefficients of a transform block includes a processor. The processor is configured to decode, from a compressed bitstream, first coefficients of at least one row of the transform block; decode, from the compressed bitstream, second coefficients of at least one column of the transform block, where the transform block consists of the first coefficients, the second coefficients, and remaining coefficients; select, using the first coefficients and the second coefficients, a scan order for decoding the remaining coefficients; and decode the remaining coefficients of the transform block using the scan order.
