Hi Jerry,

yes, I know that and I for myself would have implemented this
structure in a simple id,parent_id table. But this is a given table
model that I cannot change, there'd be too many parts of the
application to change, so I'd really appreciate to do this using PHP.

At the moment I am stuck with having an array like

--- snip ---
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[position] => Array
(
[0] => 00
)

[title] => Title of menu item 00
)

[1] => Array
(
[position] => Array
(
[0] => 01
)

[title] => Title of menu item 01
)

[2] => Array
(
[position] => Array
(
[0] => 01
[1] => 01
)

[title] => Title of menu item 01.01
)

[3] => Array
(
[position] => Array
(
[0] => 01
[1] => 02
)

[title] => Title of menu item 01.02
)

[4] => Array
(
[position] => Array
(
[0] => 01
[1] => 03
)

[title] => Title of menu item 01.03
)

[...]

Do you think I could work with this and maybe give an example of how
it could work?

Thanks in advance
