The usual and unhelpful answer applies: You will have to rearrange your array-data yourself if you need it in that format.
I would take another look at the javascript-component you are using... because I can't really figure out why it would require the data in that format. Repeating the user-data for each group sounds strange. So if you really want to rearrange the data I would prefer to do it in the User Model. You could create a method called "getUsersForExtJS()" or something and in that method you do the actual findAll and some data-manipulation before returning the data to the controller. I would not use afterFind in this case since I really think it is only something you want to do for some specific JS-component and not every time you find a user.
