 Sort them once at the begining.  Then resort on 
every single change in viewpoint. Assume that as
you move around the list will remain mostly sorted,
and choose a sorting algorithm to fit that assumption.
If you hunt around on the net, there are some detailed
explanations of how it all should work, I seem to
remember the SGI Performer docs have a discussion.
