## What it does
**SQL Code Explanation**
==========================

### Overview

This SQL code retrieves data from a table named `[Util Selection 0]`, filters it based on a specific condition, and rearranges the output columns to display part numbers in a unique format.

### Column Transformations

The code performs two transformations on the `PartNumber` column:

*   **Left Transformation**: The `Left$([PartNumber],7)` function extracts the first 7 characters from the `PartNumber`. This is used as the `prt` alias.
*   **Right Transformation**: The `Right$([PartNumber],1)` function extracts the last character from the `PartNumber`. This is used as the `Rev` alias.

### Data Filtering

The code filters the data in `[Util Selection 0]` table to only include rows where the `Flag` column value is equal to `"1"`. The filtered data is stored in a temporary table named `[Util Selection 1]`.

### Sorting and Ordering

After filtering, the code sorts the data in ascending order by the `Left$([PartNumber],7)` transformed part numbers (`prt`) and then in descending order by the `Right$([PartNumber],1)` transformed character (`Rev`).

**SQL Code Breakdown**
------------------------

| Step | SQL Command | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1   | `SELECT Left$([PartNumber],7) AS prt, Right$([PartNumber],1) AS Rev` | Extracts the first 7 characters and last character from the `PartNumber`. |
| 2   | `INTO [Util Selection 1]` | Stages the data into a temporary table named `[Util Selection 1]`. |
| 3   | `FROM [Util Selection 0]` | Specifies the original table as the source of the data. |
| 4   | `WHERE ((([Util Selection 0].Flag)="1"))` | Filters the data to only include rows where the `Flag` column value is `"1"`. |
| 5   | `ORDER BY Left$([PartNumber],7), Right$([PartNumber],1) DESC` | Sorts the filtered data in ascending order by the transformed part numbers (`prt`) and then in descending order by the transformed character (`Rev`). |

**Example Use Case**
--------------------

This SQL code can be used in a scenario where you need to:

*   Filter and transform data related to parts with specific properties (e.g., flagged as "1").
*   Rearrange the output columns to display part numbers in a unique format.
*   Sort the filtered data based on both transformed columns.
