Merging two data sets based on ordered data sequence

Hi, 

 

I would like to merge two data sets into a new dataset based on a squence of numbers and the overall category, however that squence is often out of order between the two datasets. Is there a query to fix this? Underneath is a sample of that data where Category 1 and Squence 1 represents columns in the first dataset and Category 2 and Squence 2 represents columnd in the second data set. The last table is the destired outcome.

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

 

Appologies, the Sequence:

Should also come up as a match even though it's out of order in the seccond table. 

pls try this

 

That worked! Is there a way to bring in the squence from table 1? 

 

Thank you for your help. 

pls try

 

Thank you! I was looking for somthing more like this where the squence values from both table are in either of of the tables or a new table. Looking somthing like this.
