You’re right, wp_list_categories() does return a string but you can throw it in a variable instead of having it echoed out.

get_categories(), like dy_dream says, would return it in an array. Filtering from there would be a little tricky as it would require ignoring certain words in ordering but still including them in the echoed version.

You could probably accomplish this using wp_list_categories() and setting the echo parameter to 0 so that it would keep it in a variable. Of course I’m not sure if that just throws the list in a variable or if it is an array (Haven’t tested it out) so there would probably need to be some string trickery in there needed to use natural WP functions.
