Comment(by aaroncampbell):

 The new patch is based off the one one by sivel, and properly displays all
 the ancestors using `get_category_parents()`.  There is however, another
 problem.  If you have a category structure like this:
 {{{
 Prefixes
   Other
   PHP
     test
   Something
 Uncategorized
 }}}
 Now, if you check test it works great like this:
 {{{
 C Prefixes:PHP:test
 U Prefixes
 U   Other
 U   PHP
 U   Something
 U Uncategorized
 }}}
 However, if you check only PHP you get this:
 {{{
 C Prefixes:PHP
 U Prefixes
 U   Other
 U   Something
 U Uncategorized
 U test
 }}}
 Notice that the test category has been orphaned at the bottom.  What do
 you think should be done in this case?
