Combine data from two queries based on column headers

Hi Team,

 

I have two datasets which we are getting from API calls. Both have almost similar data but columns are not in order.

 

For example, Query1 fetches 10 columns & Query 2 fetches 9 columns with headers below. 

 

Column NumberQuery 1 Column HeadersQuery 2 Column Headers
1Column1._indexColumn1._index
2Column1._typeColumn1._type
3Column1._idColumn1._id
4Column1._scoreColumn1._score
5Column1._source.CallRateColumn1._source.Audio.Incoming.PacketLoss
6Column1._source.deviceTypeColumn1._source.Video.Outgoing.PacketLossPercent
7Column1._source.DaysAgoColumn1._source.Video.Incoming.MaxJitter
8Column1._source.EncryptionTypeColumn1._source.videoPacketLossPercentage
9Column1._source.Audio.Incoming.PacketLossColumn1._source.DisconnectCauseType
10Column1._source.Video.Outgoing.PacketLossPercent 

 

Now, when i try to append these two queries, the columns from query 2 are not appending to the correct columns in Query 1 as they are not in alphabetic order or any sort of order.

 

How can I manage to get this work?  Kindly help.

@LP2803 , if you can rename the column to be the same, Append will easily do that.
