Module development and code questions

Can anybody shed a light on sorting fields that are marked as 'notafield'? The problem is that they have no existence in the table, and thus cannot be sorted through a SQL ORDER BY clause.

Hi,
I wrote 2 modules. Both define new node types and each one writes data to its additional table in the database, but the second node is dependent of the first.

table1:
id_module_1 values_module1

table2:
id_module_2 id_module1 values_modules2

The first module has a button to call /node/add/module2

My problem is, that I don´t know how to pass id_module_1 to module_2.
Is there a function in Drupal dealing with this?

Any help is appreciated
