(1) It is not possible to show the "floating" as you require. Each field has a defined width which cannot be adjusted to cover the data it contains. If each field contains a single word, and you want this string of fields/words to be shown with only one space between each word, then it cannot be done. What you must do is concatenate all those words into a single field,then display that single field.
(2) The output of data in any PDF report is mainly controlled by the SQL query which you use to extract data from the database. The PDF processing will simply take each record that is produced from that query and process it before moving on to the next record. Any sorting or grouping must therefore be done in the SQL query *BEFORE* you send that data to the PDF object.
The documentation at http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/output-to-pdf.html clearly identifies the various options which are available, so if you want something which is not in this document then it's probably not available.
