Did you get this from database? If so, use database query to group them for you. You could use COUNT(*) and GROUP BY keyword in the database.

Your data looks like the reverse of what you'd find in a relational model:

items1 (id, cat_id)
1 1
2 1
3 2
4 2
5 3
6 3

cats (id, name)
1 Adult
2 Child
3 Senior

Difficult to see what's going on.
