I'd sort/select only few moves, because usually you get either a quick cutoff or
no cutoff at all and sorting all moves would be a waste of time in both cases.
But you could sort all moves only if remaining depth>=x to ensure good
moveordering near the root of the searchtree.

After searching the hashmove Gromit currently generates and sorts all captures
and then all quiet moves.
What do others do?
