How can I sort a column horizontally into transposed rows with matching prefixes?
I have a google sheet column with data that looks like this. ID numbers with count suffixes. How can I transpose them horizontally into rows on a sheet sorted/grouped/filtered by their ID number into the appropriate number of columns matching their suffix number?

If sheets has an off the shelf function for this I have not been able to find it. I have tried pivot tables, Hlookup, filtered arrays etc. I am grateful for any advice I may receive. A solution that uses a fixed character count (8) will work but I would love to see something that actually uses the exact ID number.
Solution
Try the following formula-
=INDEX(SPLIT(BYROW(UNIQUE(INDEX(SPLIT(A2:A15,"-"),,1)),LAMBDA(x,JOIN("|",SORT(FILTER(A2:A15,INDEX(SPLIT(A2:A15,"-"),,1)=x))))),"|"))
