Step 2: Select the sorting order.
Up to four fields can be used to sort the information of our query. A
little simple logic helps at this point. Which field is most important?
In our query, the artist is most important. The album title is less
important, and the date purchased is of least importance. Of course, if
we were interested in what music we bought on a given day, the date
purchased would be the most important.

Step 3: Select the search conditions.
The search conditions allow us to compare the name we entered with
the names of the artist in our database and decide whether to include a
particular artist in our query or not.
