It's not a UNIX.com rule at present, but personally I really dislike seeing 'URGENT' in the subject without any explanation of why

That said, I see you've also been active in helping others so I should probably just calm down
Not a very elegant solution but it should do the job (note that this will go all wrong if you have any spaces in the "/usr/orders1/order..." names in your list).
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
my %lines;
while (<>) {
if (/^\s*([^\s]+) (.*)$/) {
$lines{$1}.="$lines{$1}:$2";
}
}
foreach $key keys(%lines) {
print "$key $lines{$key}\n";
}

look
LOOK(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOOK(1)NAME
look -- display lines beginning with a given string
SYNOPSIS
look [-df] [-t termchar] string [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The look utility displays any lines in file which contain string as a prefix. As look performs a binary search, the lines in file must be
sorted.
If file is not specified, the file /usr/share/dict/words is used, only alphanumeric characters are compared and the case of alphabetic char-
acters is ignored.
Options:
-d Dictionary character set and order, i.e. only alphanumeric characters are compared.
-f Ignore the case of alphabetic characters.
-t Specify a string termination character, i.e. only the characters in string up to and including the first occurrence of termchar are
compared.
The look utility exits 0 if one or more lines were found and displayed, 1 if no lines were found, and >1 if an error occurred.
FILES
/usr/share/dict/words the dictionary
SEE ALSO grep(1), sort(1)COMPATIBILITY
The original manual page stated that tabs and blank characters participated in comparisons when the -d option was specified. This was incor-
rect and the current man page matches the historic implementation.
HISTORY
A look utility appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.
