Magento join EAV collection with Flat table

$coll = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->getCollection();

$fn = Mage::getModel('eav/entity_attribute')->loadByCode('1', 'firstname');

$ln = Mage::getModel('eav/entity_attribute')->loadByCode('1', 'lastname');

$coll->getSelect()

    ->join(array('ce1' => 'customer_entity_varchar'), 'ce1.entity_id=main_table.customer_id', array('firstname' => 'value'))

    ->where('ce1.attribute_id='.$fn->getAttributeId()) 

    ->join(array('ce2' => 'customer_entity_varchar'), 'ce2.entity_id=main_table.customer_id', array('lastname' => 'value'))

    ->where('ce2.attribute_id='.$ln->getAttributeId()) 

    ->columns(new Zend_Db_Expr("CONCAT(`ce1`.`value`, ' ',`ce2`.`value`) AS fullname"));

  great post there Kalpesh!
  I spend the whole day yesterday trying to compose a wishlist collection, and join the customer and product eav elements to it. it was driving me crazy
  I’m just so glad you posted such a useful solution.

  Many many thanks Kalpesh
