You would be much better off separating the parent data into one table and the child data into another table and then doing a left outer join to grab all of the parents and if they have children in the child table, grab those.

Thank you, but what if the sort order is not important, just that children would come after the parent record ?

Same solution ? Or is that one possible with a single SQLite command ?

Basically this kid of traversal of a hierarchy is NOT possible in SQL in a general way. It requires some kind of iterative or recursive query which SQL cannot do without some kind of language extensions.
