Hi Chris
There is a method model->afterFind() that can be useful in some
situations, but rather than fight too hard (which tends to make the
code/sql less readable), I let cake return what it wants with the
find*() and then reformat the array in the model before returning to
the controller.

This does mean you have a new function in your model (that calls the
standard find*() then reformats the return array) that has to be called
from your controller, but IMHO this is a small price to pay.

Most of my non-standard complex find*()s tend to evolve into a sql
statement (i.e. model->query($statement)) eventually, so it eases
refactoring too.
