Sounds like you may want to concatenate the columns:

... order by table1.name || table2.name

The sorting would then be performed on both of the them as though they were one column.

Is this possible?

So you want one column of name, including names from both table1 and table2? In that case, you need to use UNION, I believe. If it's something else, I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Perhaps you could include a sample of what you're getting, along with what you'd like to see?
