There are only numbers in my both joined files, I have realized that join
does not support numeric sort method for the time being. if sort without
option '-n', the result after joining was correct.

Sounds like a locale problem. What does the "locale"
command say? How exactly are you invoking 'sort' and
'join'? What do the input and output lines look like?
