As a long term solution, you might want to add a column to your products 
table called "SortOrder" or "Priority" which contains the actual order you 
want the query to output.  This way you are not stuck to any particular way 
of sorting (by id, name etc.)  You could make the "Other" category 99999 or 
something suitably high so it will always be last.  Then in your admin 
section you'll want to be able to modify that column's value so you can 
change the order if necessary.

In lieu of that, I'm sure some folks on here will have a fancy way to get 
that "Other" category to come out at the end.
