+ quotename( Cast(ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY itemID ORDER BY part) as varchar(3)) ,']')
FROM yourtable
FOR XML PATH (''),type).value('.','varchar(max)'), 1, 2, '')
--Print @colsSorted

Set @sql=N' if object_id(''anewtable'',''U'') is not null drop table anewtable ; with mycte as (SELECT ItemID, '+ @colsSorted + ' FROM (
Select ItemID,Part, Cast(ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY itemID ORDER BY part) as varchar(3)) as Cols

FROM yourtable
) src
PIVOT (Max(part) for Cols IN ('+ @colsSorted +')) pvt )
Select *   into aNewtable
from mycte;'
 --print @sql
 exec sp_executesql @sql;


 select * from aNewtable

 select * from yourtable

drop table yourtable
