I can find a discussion about showing sub-categories in the sidebar (but no solution on what you want):

> [@Nest subcategories under their parent categories in the sidebar](https://meta.discourse.org/t/nest-subcategories-under-their-parent-categories-in-the-sidebar/239581):
>
> Subcategories should be nested in the sidebar. Things like this example will not work unless subcategories are nested: Ford –Driving –Purchasing GM –Driving –Purchasing The resulting display would be: Driving Driving Ford GM Purchasing Purchasing In the screenshot below, documentation is the parent category, while admins, faq, moderators, sso, sysadmin are subcategories.
