How do you merge events on common field values?

Basically I have two fields, index and sourcetypes.

Index:          Sourcetype:
index1          sourcetypeA
index2          sourcetypeA

How do I merge the values of index on the common field value in source type?

Expected result:

Sourcetype:
sourcetypeA      index1
                 index2

Merge - could mean several things.

search index=index1 OR index=index2 | stats count by sourcetype

will do a form of merging but I suspect that's not really what you want?
