Mysql query to dynamically convert rows to columns

You can use GROUP BY and MAX to simulate pivot. MySQL also supports IF statement.

SELECT  ID,
        MAX(IF(`order` = 1, data, NULL)) data1,
        MAX(IF(`order` = 2, data, NULL)) data2
FROM    TableA
GROUP   BY ID

If you have multiple values of order, dynamic SQL may be more appropriate so that you will not have to modify the query:

SET @sql = NULL;
SELECT
  GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT
    CONCAT(
      'MAX(IF(`order` = ', `order`, ',data,NULL)) AS data', `order`)
  ) INTO @sql
FROM TableName;

SET @sql = CONCAT('SELECT  ID, ', @sql, ' 
                  FROM    TableName
                  GROUP   BY ID');

PREPARE stmt FROM @sql;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;

OUTPUT OF BOTH QUERIES:

╔════╦═══════╦═══════╗
║ ID ║ DATA1 ║ DATA2 ║
╠════╬═══════╬═══════╣
║  1 ║ P     ║ S     ║
║  2 ║ R     ║ Q     ║
╚════╩═══════╩═══════╝

You need to use MAX and GROUP BY to simulate a PIVOT:

SELECT Id,
   MAX(CASE WHEN Order = 1 THEN data END) data1,
   MAX(CASE WHEN Order = 2 THEN data END) data2
FROM TableA
GROUP BY Id

And here is the SQL Fiddle.
