Are you quite sure there can never be more than 16 orders per ID ?

The form your table is in now is actually the preferred form. It's called an
associative table, and logic suggests that it sits between a table that
holds more info on the IDs, and a table that holds more info on the orders.

 I have a table with two columns, ID and order.  Each ID can be
 repeated up to 16 timers.

 I need to reshape it so that I have one row per ID, and columns
 order1, order 2,...order 16, and one number that lists how many orders
 there actually were.

 No this is not a homework assignment.  I'm trying to make sense out of
 a legacy project.

 Can someone help me out?

 Thanks!
