I'm using a first_name and last_name columns in a customers table with
cake 1.3. I have created a virtual field of last_first that concats
the last_name and first_name fields with a comma in between. Is there
a way to make the virtual field display just the last_name if the
first_name is NULL? Below is my current virtualFields variable.

function __construct($id = false, $table = null, $ds = null) {
        parent::__construct($id, $table, $ds);
        $this->virtualFields = array(
                'last_first' => sprintf('CONCAT(%s.last_name, ", ", 
%s.first_name)',
$this->alias, $this->alias),
        );
}
