I made a View to list a series of items. Each item has been assigned a Taxonomy term.

My taxonomy terms go like this:

--- Main1
----- Sub1
----- Sub2
--- Main2
----- Sub3
----- Sub4
----- Sub5

So there's a main category and inside other terms.

In my view, you can filter the entries to only display items for a certain category. But the dropdown menu is a mess. It goes like Sub3, Main2, Sub1, Sub5...

So, is there a way to organize it in a way it appears as I listed it above? And also, is it possible to give some kind of indentation for the subterms in the dropdown? (So people can easily tell what is a main term and what's a sub-term).

You can use Hierarchical Select module to manage taxonomy terms in select list.

See this discussion to implement hierarchical select with Views module : http://drupal.org/node/1170192

Check also Better exposed filters - it allows you to display the filter in checkboxes/radios instead of dropdowns (which are horrible for end users) and then you can further style the output to group and divide main categories visually.

Here's a screenshot of something similar I did:

  • The "further style" is a feature of that module or did you mean I should edit the code?

  • I did not edit the code if that's what you are asking, I just styled it the way I needed it to be.

  • Checkboxes are cool, but I fear I have dozens of terms, so the list gets too large.
