Check the manual:
http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/models
Need to do something like this:
$this->Role->generateList(null, 'role_name ASC', null, '{n}.Role.id',
'{n}.Role.role_name')
generateList is automatic only if you have fields named "title/name" (I
believe). If not, you need to specifically tell it which to display.
