I don't understand what you're trying to do. If you're trying to display only certain categories, you can do that by using arguments - have a look at the WP codex link, it will tell you how to omit categories etc.

Include or Exclude Categories

To sort categories alphabetically and include only the categories with IDs of 16, 3, 9 and 5, you could write the following code:

<ul>
<?php
wp_list_categories('orderby=name&include=3,5,9,16'); ?>
</ul>

The following example displays category links sorted by name, shows the number of posts for each category, and excludes the category with the ID of 10 from the list.

<ul>
<?php
wp_list_categories('orderby=name&show_count=1&exclude=10'); ?>
</ul>
