## What it does
**SQL Query Description**
=====================================

This SQL query retrieves specific data from a database table named `Process` based on certain conditions. The query uses various string manipulation functions and filters the results to produce a list of part numbers, metal types, and other relevant information.

### Key Functions Used

*   `Left$([PartNumber],7)`: Returns the first 7 characters of the `PartNumber` column.
*   `Trim$(Right$([PartNumber],1))`: Removes the last character from the right side of the `PartNumber` column and trims any leading or trailing whitespace.
*   `Process.PartNumber AS PartNumber`: Selects the `PartNumber` column from the `Process` table and assigns it an alias `PartNumber`.
*   `Left$([PartNumber],1)`: Returns the first character of the `PartNumber` column.

### Filtering Conditions

The query applies several conditions to filter the results:

1.  **Metal Type**: The metal type must match the value in the `[Forms]![Material Upgrade]![txtMaterial]` field.
2.  **Part Number Prefix**: The part number prefix must be either "2", "9", "8", or "1" (in any case).

### Sorting and Ordering

The results are sorted by:

1.  `Left$([PartNumber],7)` in ascending order
2.  `Trim$(Right$([PartNumber],1))` in descending order
3.  `Left$([PartNumber],1)` in ascending order

### Output

The query returns a list of part numbers, metal types, and other relevant information, sorted according to the specified criteria.

**Example Output**
-------------------

| prt (7-character substring) | Rev (last character removed) | PartNumber | MetalType |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| XXXXXXXX | 1 | XYZ1234569 | Material A |
| XXXXXXXX | 2 | ABC2345678 | Material B |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |

Note that the actual output will depend on the data in the `Process` table and the values in the `[Forms]![Material Upgrade]![txtMaterial]` field.
