If you're on 1.3 use Virtual Fields --
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1608/Virtual-fields.
So this is a pretty common gotcha with CakePHP. If you use one of
those SQL tricks the result will be outside cake's array scope. If
you were to do a find('all'....) on that you would see your CONCAT
field in the key 0 of $crop. As such, when using find('list') the key
0 is not within CakePHP's model scope which in turn is ignored giving
you what you see now.
Virtual Fields (new in 1.3) to the rescue. You can define these
special "not real" fields and they react like you would expect any
normal field would within a find, condition, or pagination. Pretty
cool!
Hope that helps,
Nick
