Default Extract single occurence of order number from list

I have a 5000+ number list within a spreadsheet made up of 6 digit order
numbers, if an order numbers 'order' contained multiple items then the number
appears x times in the list, once per item.

I want to pivot the data, but need to extract a list of order numbers with
their relevant data from the other columns, at the moment the only way (to
me) seems to be to sort by order number and manually delete the duplicate
occurences. example of data below, actual is 20+ columns wide
