org-cycle (from CHILDREN TO SUBTREE when SUBTREE is empty)

When I am using org-cycle it annoys me when I have to execute a redundant org-cycle when the SUBTREE is empty.

- list A

    - sub_list A

Here org-cycle goes from FOLDED to CHILDREN then to SUBTREE, yet there's nothing to show. Is there a way to go back to FOLDED state when the subtree is empty?
