Subcategories not displaying under main categories

    I have a form which creates posts, however I only want to display certain categories in the drop down list. These categories have subcategories, however when I add them to the form they do not appear as being listed under their parent category instead they appear like this:
    Parent Category A
    Parent Category B
    Parent Category C
    Subcatagory A
    Subcategory B

    How can I order them so that the subcategories appear under the correct parent in the form drop down list?

  2. When you opt to pick and choose which categories are displayed you lose the hierarchy. This is why they do not appear in a tree. This is by design.

    It is much more complex to display the hierarchy when you choose from categories that appear in varying levels of the hierarchy.
