Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Put this in G2:

=IFERROR(INDEX(B:B,SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$16=$E$2,IF(COUNTIF($G$1:$G1,$B$2:$B$16)=0,ROW($A$2:$A$16))),1)),"")

change the ranges to match your sheet, and confirm with Control+Shift+Enter, not just enter. Then drag it down the column.

I'm not sure what you want in column J? Is it a list of all the interests, regardless of the person? If so,

=IFERROR(INDEX(B:B,SMALL(IF(COUNTIF($J$1:$J1,$B$2:$B$16)=0,ROW($B$2:$B$16)),1)),"")

in J2 with CSE.
