A moving picture coding apparatus, method, and medium for coding a current block of a picture are provided. A motion vector candidate list is generated that includes motion vector candidates and, for each of the motion vector candidates, a value. The motion vector candidates include a first candidate and a second candidate. The second candidate is arranged before the first candidate in the motion vector candidate list. The first candidate is sorted before the second candidate in the motion vector candidate list based on the value of the first candidate and the value of the second candidate. The value of the first candidate is higher than the value of the second candidate. For each of the motion vector candidates, the value is based on a number of times the motion vector candidate is selected as a motion vector predictor for neighboring blocks.
