You are going to end up with alot of repetitous code if you repeat the process for every level.
I would instead select all page data, and then construct a nested array to show the page structure, and then work off of that.
example:
$pages = array();
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $Gen WHERE Category = '$Cat' ORDER BY Page_Above desc"; //start from the lower levels, build up
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
//go through each row in the result set
while ($pageArray = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
if(isset($pages[$pageArray['id']])){
ksort($pages[$pageArray['id']]);
$pageArray['children'] = $pages[$pageArray['id']];
unset( $pages[$pageArray['id']]);
}
$pages[$pageArray['Page_Above']][$pageArray['id']] = $pageArray;
}
$pages = $pages[0]; // remove unnamed top-level (nodes not properly set as children)
sort($pages);
function showpages($p, $level=0){
$line = "%d\t%s\t%d\r\n";
printf($line, $p['id'], $p['name'], $p['Page_Above']);
if(isset($p['children'])) foreach($p['children'] as $child) showpages($child);
}
foreach($pages as $page) showpages($page);
