Hi,

I've got a table of jobs, and a table of users. They relate to each other  
in a table called job\_affinities, where a job\_id, a user\_id and an affinity  
score.

I would like to get a list of jobs, and for the currently logged in user,  
sort this list by his/her affinity for each job. How can this be done,  
without nesting the entire list of users, with their affinities, for each  
job?

Thanks,  
Jocke
