Merging two files with a common column
Hi, I have two files file1 and file2. I have to merge the columns of those two files into file3 based on common column of two files. To be simple.

file1:

Row-id name1

13456 Rahul
16789 Vishal
18901 Karan

file2 :

Row-id place

18901 Mumbai
16789 Bangalore

file3:
Row-id name1 place
13456 rahul
16789 Vishal Bangalore
18901 karan Mumbai

I have to merge the two files after sorting file1 and file2 on Row-id. Please get me out of this problem. Thanks.
