The following helped me when I was setting up something like this:
$this->Category->recursive = 0;
$this->set('category_tree', $this->Category->findAllThreaded(null,
array('id','parent_id','name'),'parent_id, name'));
It'll give you a multidimensional array based on parent_id. You could also
use something like this to find parent nodes of an article.
