Gods, you did no testing before sending this, did you?
<cfif parameterexists(icat)>
<cfset queryGroup = 'ItemCategory'>
<cfelse>
<cfset queryGroup = 'Category'>
</cfif>
<cfoutput query="myQuery" group="#queryGroup#">
<cfoutput>
</cfoutput>
</cfoutput>
Just remember to sort it properly in the database before the output
