sortables

I have the following serialized string from a nested sortable list:

ul[0][id]=main1&ul[0][children][0][id]=child2&ul[0][children][0][class]=&ul[1][id]=main3&ul[2][id]=main4&ul[3][id]=main5

I want to be able to record this in the database, and think I need a structure to do this. What's the best way to turn this into a structure, so I can sort it in the database, and easily render the list on the page in the future.

Thanks,B
