Trying to concatenate rows based on pattern

Inactive User

I know how to concatenate based on same column name but Im trying do something a little different,

 

Here is how my table looks like right now

 

Order details1.1  ~~~Info~~
Order details1.2 ~~~Info~~
Order details2.1 ~~~Info~~
Order details1.1 ~~~Info~~
Order details1.2 ~~~Info~~
Order details1.3 ~~~Info~~
Order details1.4 ~~~Info~~
Order details2.1 ~~~Info~~
Order details3.1 ~~~Info~~
Order details1.1 ~~~Info~~

 

This is my desired output. Basically I would like all related details in the same cell as opposed to all in different ones. So order details (1.1 - 1.1] ,with the second 1.1 being exclusive, be in the same cell. Thank you any help would be much appreciated. 

 

Order  details 

1.1 ~~~Info~~

1.2 ~~~Info~~

2.1 ~~~Info~~

Order  details 

1.1 ~~~Info~~

1.2 ~~~Info~~

1.3 ~~~Info~~

1.4 ~~~Info~~

2.1 ~~~Info~~

3.1 ~~~Info~~

Order  details 1.1 ~~~Info~~

@Inactive User,

 

You'll want to sit down for this.  First, create a rowID based upon 1.1.  Second Summarize and concatenate using \n (newline).  Third, drop the rowID.  You're done.
