Well, problem solved...don't know if I did it the right way, though...
Since the variable I was trying to use in my component was an array of data
from a table, I had to import the model in the component using:
$Category = ClassRegistry::init('Category');
So I set the array after that, in the component as well, like this:
$categories = $Category->find('all',array(
'conditions'=>array('Category.active'=>1),
'order'=> array('Category.index'=>'ASC')
));
Thanks!
