Thank you all for your responses. You are correct. I will sort them, join
them, and then resort them. Then they should join as what would normally be
expected.
Enjoy your day!

I think the problem is that join assumes alphabetic, not numeric sequence.
So "10" is less than "9" and it gives up in disgust. The man page for join
would suggest that you need to do a normal sort - just sort, or sort -b -
before you do your join. If you need it in numeric order, do a sort -n on
the result.
