Can't you extract the whole table and build a binary tree? Then traverse it using depth first pre-order traversal? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_traversal#Depth-first_Traversal

I have named the table category. I have placed the categories and sub-categories as mentioned above. The fields i have used are cat_id, category, parent_cat_id

I have prepared the following query:

SELECT * FROM
  (
  SELECT 0 AS parent_id,'' AS parent,cat_id AS category_id,category AS category FROM categories WHERE parent_cat_id=0
  UNION
  SELECT cat.cat_id AS parent_id,cat.category AS parent,chd.cat_id AS category_id,chd.category AS category FROM categories chd
  INNER JOIN categories cat ON cat.cat_id=chd.parent_cat_id
  ) AS t
ORDER BY concat(t.parent,t.category)

Though it's still not that accurate, I hope this can help you go ahead
