And here's an excerpt from the article:
Using the collection of user profiles, we can then view, sort and filter user profiles rather easily. Here are some examples:
List all the user profiles:
$pc = $upm.GetEnumerator();$pc | FT DisplayNameList all the user profiles, including the account name. The account name is one the user profiles properties, in the Properties collection. User profile properties can be accessed directly from the UserProfile object by name, as userprofileobject["propertyname"]. We can leverage this in Format-Table 
by using a Hash Table (that contains an expression) to get the profile property we want.
First, by examining the UserProfile object, we can see it has a collection of properties: 
We can use these properties in Format-Table by putting them in a Hash Table (which contains a Label for the value and an Expression that gets the value). There's more information about using Hash Tables with PowerShell on the TechNet site, and here's an example: Displaying Process Information in a Custom Table
