$form->input('category_id') shows only category IDs to select - can I make it more user friendly, showing the name of the category?

Using associated models (categories hasMany members) I wrote in my
membersController I wrote:

$this->set('categories $this->Member->Category->find('list'));

and in the add view, i just wrote:

echo $form->input('category_id');

Works beautifully, except that it only shows numbers (the ID of the
category) in the selection box. It would be nice if could show the names of
the groups instead. How can I do this simple modification?

Thanks in advance!
