Let me assume there is only one level and this cannot be arbitrarily 
nested. Also I assume the initial model of this thread:

db.define_table('store_catalog',
    Field('maincategory', 'string'),
    Field('subcategory', 'string'),
    Field('description', 'text'))

t = store_catalog
rows = db(t).select()
from collections import defaultdict
d=defaultdict(list)
for row in rows: d[row.maincategory].append(row.subcategory)
response.menu = [
    [T(key), False, None, [[T(sub), False, 'link'] for sub in 
sorted(d[key])]] for key in sorted(d)
]
