I want to SELECT in a specific way, is this possible?

I think this is the best place for this question, though it may require some PHP knowledge as well.

The question: Is there a way to modify the SELECT statement to do this without modifying the PHP code? If not, what's the best way to do what I want?

The table:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `alol_wplinkdir_cats` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`title` varchar(250) NOT NULL,
`parent` varchar(250) NOT NULL,
`description` varchar(250) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=8 ;

INSERT INTO `alol_wplinkdir_cats` (`id`, `title`, `parent`, `description`) VALUES
(1, 'Blogs & Blogging', '', 'All about the fine art of writing nonsense.'),
(2, 'Games', '', 'Video gaming, online games and more.'),
(3, 'WordPress Sites', 'Blogs & Blogging', 'all the wordpress sites ya know'),
(4, 'Blogger Stuff', 'Blogs & Blogging', 'lots of shit in this cat'),
(6, 'Video Games', 'Games', 'computers n consoles n shit'),
(7, 'Board Games', 'Games', 'lol board gamez dnd n that');



The PHP code:

$getCats=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $cat_table ORDER BY title ASC");

while($Cat=mysql_fetch_assoc($getCats)){
$Cats[$Cat['title']]=($Cat['parent'] == '' ? 'parent' : $Cat['title']);
}

echo '<tr><td>Category:</td><td><select name="category">';

foreach($Cats as $Title => $Value){
echo '<option'.($Link['category'] == $Title ? ' SELECTED' : '').'>'.($Value == 'parent' ? '' : ' - ').$Title.'</option>';
}

echo '</select></td></tr>';



This displays a list of categories like:

- Blogger Blogs
Blogs & Blogging
- Board Games
Games
- Video Games
- WordPress Sites

When what I want is:

Blogs & Blogging
- Blogger Blogs
- WordPress Sites
Games
- Board Games
- Video Games

In which the Categories which don't have parent categories are displayed in alphabetical order, under which their sub categories are also displayed alphabetically.

 

It is not possible to get the required output without modifying PHP code.
