help please?

so I was looking into the etymology of 'asunder' because I'm both cool and busy.

it's related to a verb I didn't know 'sunder' - which means to split or divide apparently.  ie. "long ago the men of the land sundered betwix the King's Men and the Faithful"

so here's the question - what is the expression I have always heard as "all unsundry"?  I have recenrly seen it written as all: 'and sundry', 'in sundry', and 'insundry'.  Which is correct and how quite does the idiom take root in the old  or adjective (or more likely) verb? :S
