Part of what you are asking can (probably) be accomplished in the SQL
query using the GROUP BY and ORDER BY clauses. THis would result in
each ticket being followed by its children. Unfortunately, I have only
rudimentary knowledge of SQL, so I don't know how to do this.
To get the list to be rendered in a tree structure, you could then use
Javascript. Most likely there is existing Javascript available that
can be adapted (or, possibly, simply configured) to work with the HTML
table generated from the SQL query.
The basic logic for an outline view of the tickets would be to check
the parent-id field of each ticket in turn. If the tcket has the same
parent as the previous ticket, then set the indent level the same as
the previous ticket. If the parent is the previous ticket, then
incement the indent level. If the parent is some earlier ticket, then
set the indent level to 1 plus the parent's indent level. If the
parent ticket has never been seen, then reset the indent level to 0.
I hope this is somewhat helpful.
