Hoping someone can help, I'm pretty sure there must be an easy way to do this!

I've got 2 sheets with a crossover in data I need to consolidate:
sheet 1 has 2000 contacts, email and order ID's
sheet 2 has 5000 contacts (original 2000 contained within the 5k) and email (no order ID's)

I want to get the order ID's into sheet 2 and email is obviously the common thread between them. I can try sorting them and manually doing it but that'd be pretty time-consuming, I'm presuming there's a better way?
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
You can try PowerQuery (Excel 2010 and higher)
Merge two tables by common column (eg. contacts) with Full Outer, then remove unnecessary columns, re-order columns as you need, load to the result sheet
