    Abstract: A method of encoding video data is provided. The method determines a block unit of an image frame of the video data. The method determines, for the block unit, a first merge candidate list including multiple merge candidates, and identifies multiple merge subgroups from the first merge candidate list. The method determines multiple first cost values each corresponding to one of the merge candidates, and determines an arrangement of the merge candidates in each of the merge subgroups based on the first cost values. The method determines a second merge candidate list by selecting, from each of the merge subgroups, a first K merge candidates of the merge candidates ordered based on the arrangements. Then, the method selects one of the merge candidates in the second merge candidate list to predict the block unit and encodes one or more merge indices into a bitstream based on the selected merge candidate.
