rbind and bind_rows :not able bind rows the way I want

Question

I have seven data.frames named STEP1.df, STEP2.df,......,STEP7.df.
Each dataframe has two columns, one is a numeric and another is of Date.Time format. These data.frames have 44 rows. I am trying to make a single data.frame by binding them together.
The way I tried are:

do.call("rbind", list(STEP1.df, STEP2.df, STEP3.df, STEP4.df, STEP5.df, STEP6.df,STEP7.df))

bind_rows (list(STEP1.df, STEP2.df, STEP3.df, STEP4.df, STEP5.df, STEP6.df,STEP7.df)

The issue is that above code creates 14 columns (2 for each data.frames) and puts

first data.frame STEP1.df in Column 1 and 2 / Row 1 to 44,
second data.frame STEP2.df in Column 3 and 4 / Row 45 to 88
...

and so on.

The way I wanted was to put all in just two columns A and B with STEP1.df spanning from Row 1 to 44, STEP2.df in Column A and B in Row 45 to 88 and so on...

Is this issue due to the Date.Time format column?

Possibly due to different column names. Change them to the same column name and test it — akrun, Dec 07 '17 at 17:44
A small [reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/q/5963269/210673) would be very helpful. Try with just two data frames and just a couple rows each, and include the data with dput so we can see what's going on. — Aaron left Stack Overflow, Dec 07 '17 at 17:45
@akrun Keeping constant column names for each df worked..Thanks a lot. — Bishal G. Tamang, Dec 07 '17 at 18:26
