Sorting and combining two different lists

Hi,

I'm struggling with a problem scenario....

I have two lists....both having few common columns and few individual...

there is one column common to these two....Timestamp

What I want is that I need to sort these two list as a whole on timestamp....can this be done...

I have read somewhere that we can create views.....can I create a view of both lists contaning only common columns and combine the views and finally put them into single list and sort on timestamp....

has anybody already done this

Thanks

Manu
