Ammending this, as I did a little more testing.. Using RTRIM(parents)
instead of RTRIM(CONCAT(parents, ' ')) only works when querying from
non-joined tables.
The instant I join my Categories table to my Items table (left/right
unimportant, they behave the same; though with my setup, I need to do a LEFT
JOIN), it stops working and behaves just like the straight "parents" call,
requiring me to use RTRIM(CONCAT(parents, ' ')) to get a reliable sort.
