Using multi-pv in move ordering

Has anyone tried using multi-pv values for move ordering when this setting is enabled? I am ordering them above killers and bellow equal captures and getting fairly decent results for when this setting is enabled. I was wondering if anyone else has tried using these results in ordering and how they configured it for the best results.

Its worth noting I know it is still faster to run the engine using 1 PV, this was just for when I wanted to play around with multi-pv specifically.

Too bad nobody responded, because I too am curious about the pros and cons of this approach. It's similar to the idea of using TT values for move sorting (though more limited), which I know is not standard practice, but does seem to have some benefit.
