Be careful of people throwing around buzzwords as solutions to nearly every
problem. From a cursory glance at your question in this post, it indeed
looks like AJAX is NOT *the* solution to your problem.

I've done in OPTGROUP sorting and such, but nothing with actually populating
a select list with optgroups.
I'll address some of your other concerns in the other post you made after
this one where you posed more specific questions.
