A transmitting method for transmitting a bitstream to a terminal is provided. The bit stream is generated by coding a current block of a picture and has an index for identifying a motion vector candidate from a motion vector candidate list. The motion vector candidate list is generated and includes motion vector candidates and a value for each motion vector candidate. A second candidate is arranged before a 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 values of the first and second candidates. The value of the first candidate is higher than the value of the second candidate. For each motion vector candidate, the value is based on a number of times the motion vector candidate is selected as a motion vector predictor for neighboring blocks.
