You can use case expression:
ORDER BY CASE
WHEN Column1 IS NOT NULL THEN Column1
ELSE Column2
END
Or the corresponding syntactic sugar:
ORDER BY COALESCE(Column1, Column2)
The result will be like:
column1 | column2
--------|--------
1 | 1258
2 | 5972
null | 3
4 | 3698
5 | 7524
Note that the datatype of the two columns must be comparable (the RDBMS defines the rules).
