Copy columns from different files to same file

I have 19 columns from File1 and 1 column from File2 I want to put in the same sheet. 

 

When i try to use Union Tool and I have 

 

Output Order / Set a Specific Output Order - ticked, it'll take the column from File2 and correctly put it in the 20th column, however put it several hundred rows below the last row in File1. 

 

I just want the column from File2 to be next to the other columns in File1. 

 

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
