Merging two sorted Arraylists into one sorted Arraylist

My code should merge two already sorted arraylists into one sorted arraylist and if one of the arraylists used is not sorted then it should return null.

public class MergeSorted {
public static void merge(ArrayList<Integer> a, ArrayList<Integer> b) {

    for (int i = 0, j = 0; j < b.size(); i++) {
        if (i == a.size() || a.get(i) > a.get(j)) {
            a.add(i, b.get(j++));
        }
    }
}  
}

This is what I attempted but can't get the idea of returning null if they are not equal, Im new to java and this is my second week so please be patient with me. I know I should have an if statement checking if they are sorted and an else but what should I include inside the if?
