SQL Code:

Original - SQL Code
SELECT * FROM categories INNER JOIN subcategories ON (categories.id = subcategories.category_id) ORDER BY category.name, subcategory.name;

SELECT *
FROM categories INNER JOIN subcategories
    ON (categories.id = subcategories.category_id)
ORDER BY category.name, subcategory.name;

Next, in the code where you read the sql results, keep track of the category you're currently outputting. If it's a different one from the last, print a new header. If not, print only the subcategory name.
