The default _is_ to list categories in parent-child hierarchical nested list (there is a ‘hierarchical’ parameter in list_cats() and wp_list_cats(), but either it or the ‘list’ parameter must be specifically set to false/off.
If you’re not seeing this, it’s possible the menu/sidebar ul and li tag properties in your stylesheet are overriding how it’s displayed.
Woh, you can’t edit posts anymore :/
What are the arguments at current for your list_cats function?
wp_list_cats isn’t displaying a hierarchy for me (on 1.5). It’s not the CSS because I’ve viewed the source and its not producing the HTML for a nested list at all.
I’ve also replicated the error on multiple themes.
Any clues?

I’m using the base stuff from the ‘nolimits’ theme. The PHP call is:
<?php list_cats(0, ”, ‘name’, ‘ASC’, ‘/’, true, 0, 1); ?>
My HTML output is:
<h2>Categories:</h2>
Teas, Wines should be sub-lists under Beverages.

That’s what my code snippet prints out. Sorry for the multi-paste erors.
Presumably we arent going to get nested lists with an h2 tag in there ?
I have the same problem under 1.5
sub-categories listing as separate categories.
ME too!!! is this something as a bug under 1.5?
I have <?php wp_list_cats(“sort_column=name&showempty=1&optioncount=1”); ?> and it won’t do anything but list all my categories and subcategories in non-alphabetical order. =(
my wp_list_cats has no options. I’m using the Aesthetic theme. I emailed the theme maker, but no response from 3 days ago, must be busy. Or its a 1.5 thing.
hrm, edit is off.
I did check a 1.2.2 blog I use, and it has no options either. Yet it displays the subs under the parent category.
So it must be a change in 1.5
