join (pls help on join command)

Hi,

I am a new learner of join command. Some result really make me confused.
Please kindly help me.

input:
Code:
file1:
LEO oracle engineer 210375
P.Jones Office Runner ID897
L.Clip Personl Chief ID982
S.Round UNIX admin ID6

file2:
Dept2C ID897 6 years
Dept5Z ID982 1 year
Dept3S ID6 2 years
GEDA 210375 1 year

What i exactly want is:
Code:
ID897 P.Jones Office Runner Dept2C 6 years
ID982 L.Clip Personl Chief Dept5Z 1 year
ID6 S.Round UNIX admin Dept3S 2 years
210375 LEO oracle engineer GEDA 1 year

Follow is the code and result according to my example. Could anybody explain why the result is not correct. It seems my soaris can only output first two lines(since if i split the input file to four groups, and each group contain only one line, it works ok.)

Thanks in advanced!

Code:
code1: join -j1 4 -j2 2 file1 file2
result1:
ID897 P.Jones Office Runner Dept2C 6 years
ID982 L.Clip Personl Chief Dept5Z 1 year

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Tk_GetJoinStyle, Tk_NameOfJoinStyle - translate between strings and join styles SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h> int Tk_GetJoinStyle(interp, string, joinPtr) const char * Tk_NameOfJoinStyle(join) ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter to use for error reporting. const char *string (in) String containing name of join style: one of "bevel", "miter", or "round". int *joinPtr (out) Pointer to location in which to store X join style corresponding to string. int join (in) Join style: one of JoinBevel, JoinMiter, JoinRound. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Tk_GetJoinStyle places in *joinPtr the X join style corresponding to string, which will be one of JoinBevel, JoinMiter, or JoinRound. Join styles are typically used in X graphics contexts to indicate how adjacent line segments should be joined together. See the X documentation for information on what each style implies. Under normal circumstances the return value is TCL_OK and interp is unused. If string does not contain a valid join style or an abbrevia- tion of one of these names, then an error message is stored in interp->result, TCL_ERROR is returned, and *joinPtr is unmodified. Tk_NameOfJoinStyle is the logical inverse of Tk_GetJoinStyle. Given a join style such as JoinBevel it returns a statically-allocated string corresponding to join. If join is not a legal join style, then "unknown join style" is returned. KEYWORDS
bevel, join style, miter, round Tk Tk_GetJoinStyle(3tk)
