Why build an array, and store ANOTHER copy of all the data in memory
while the script runs?  That is just a waste of memory...


   SELECT Category, Name, URL FROM Links ORDER BY Category, Name;



To display them:

$OldCategory = '';

while( list( $Category, $Name, $URL ) = mysql_fetch_row( $Result )) {

   if( $OldCategory != $Category ) {
      print "Category Header $Category<BR>\n";

      $OldCategory = $Category;
      }

   print "<A href=\"$URL\">$Name</a><BR>\n";
   }
