Oh, I see, joining is of course false, my fault. must be like this, i
think:
select <fields> from tablea union select <the same fields> from tableb
order by <field>

I tried it with two sample tables on 7.1.3 and it worked:
bert=> select version();
version
-------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.96
(1 row)

bert=> \d ta
Table "ta"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+---------+-----------------------------------------------
id | integer | not null default nextval('"ta_id_seq"'::text)
data | text |
i | integer |
Index: ta_id_key

bert=> \d tb
Table "tb"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+---------+------------------------------------
id | integer | default nextval('ta_id_seq'::text)
data | text |
i | integer |

bert=> select * from ta;
id | data | i
----+------+---
1 | qwe | 1
2 | ert | 3
3 | tzu | 5
(3 rows)

bert=> select * from tb;
id | data | i
----+------+---
4 | wer | 2
5 | rtz | 4
6 | zui | 6
(3 rows)

bert=> select * from ta union select * from tb order by i;
id | data | i
----+------+---
1 | qwe | 1
4 | wer | 2
2 | ert | 3
5 | rtz | 4
3 | tzu | 5
6 | zui | 6
(6 rows)
