Ok, that's a great article but not exactly what I need. I don't need to modify the results of the select (yet) but I need to modify the output of the results: a mulit-dimensional array that would need to be looped and shown. It might require a whole script entirely, but there's just too much good stuff in Jorn's plugin that I could never do on my own.
