Answer 5

None of those will work.

If you want to learn how to do this properly, I'd suggest you take a look at this http://blog.codinghorror.com/a-visual-explanation-of-sql-joins/

CROSS JOIN is not what you are looking for.

SQL will not be able to process this query. What I suggest you do is to get both record sets with two different queries and then sort them by the field you want, using PHP/Python/C or whatever the code your app is based on. Just don't leave that to the MySQL server because it can't.
