displaying 2 outputs as a 2 separate columns | bash

I have two outputs from 2 commands:

comm1=`ip a | grep ens | grep -v lo | cut -d' ' -f2`

output example:

>eth1

and command two

comm2=`ip a | grep inet| grep -v inet6 | grep -v 127 | cut -d' ' -f6`

output example: 

 >123.156.789
  234.167.290
  148.193.198
  138.25.49
  142.137.154
  125.175.166
  246.173.7
  154.167.67

Desired output:

echo "$comm1 $comm2"
> eth1        123.156.789
              234.167.290
              148.193.198
              138.25.49
              142.137.154
              125.175.166
              246.173.7
              154.167.67

If that would be single line outputs, then column -t works just fine, 

echo "$comm1 $comm2" | column -t

but in this case, when one of the columns is multi line, it is not working.. Looking for an efficient solution

You can use command paste and process substitution for this, e.g.:

  $ paste <(comm1) <(comm2)

You might want the paste command.

$ seq 1 3 > a.txt
$ seq 5 10 > b.txt
$ paste a.txt b.txt
1       5
2       6
3       7
        8
        9
        10
