Operating system?
Office version?
Office component? Writer? Calc? Base?
File format? doc, docx, odt, ods, xls, odb?
I don't understand how you want to dump 2 fields into 3 columns?
The term "pick list" is unclear. Listbox? Writer field of type "input list"?

Let's try to rephrase:
Using LibreOffice 5.0.2, I have a spreadsheet (*.ods) with a 2-column
list of item names and aisles numbers.
How can I include a properly sorted version of that list with a 3rd
column of ... in a Writer document?
