So I'm building a new site for an existing site and one of the things
I can't change is the database tables (because that would make my life
easier).

The user table is set up how cakephp likes its. The user_meta table is
set up as such:

meta_id, user_id, key, value

So I have some users with 40-50 entries in the meta table while others
only have 3 or 4.

Then I do pr($user) I get this:

Array
(
    [User] => Array
        (
            [ID] => 5
            [user_login] => testwriter
            [user_pass] => $P$Bq.
            [user_nicename] => testwriter
            [user_email] => [email protected]
            [user_url] =>
            [user_registered] => 2009-07-14 19:34:39
            [user_activation_key] =>
            [user_status] => 0
            [display_name] => testwriter
        )

    [Metax] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [umeta_id] => 48
                    [user_id] => 5
                    [meta_key] => comment_shortcuts
                    [meta_value] => false
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [umeta_id] => 49
                    [user_id] => 5
                    [meta_key] => admin_color
                    [meta_value] => fresh
                )

            [2] => Array
                (
                    [umeta_id] => 50
                    [user_id] => 5
                    [meta_key] => wp_capabilities
                    [meta_value] => a:1:{s:6:"author";b:1;}
                )
        )
)

I omited a lot of the metas just cause they would take forever to
list. My question is what is a good way to access this data in a view?
I can see user ID's by doing:

echo $user['User']['ID']

but how would I get a specific metadata? (the order is not the same
for each user so I can't just use an array index)
