Hi,
First a small comment. I needn't use $DisplayFunction->Identity with
DisplayTogether. You need it for combinations of graphics with Show,
DisplayTogether and DisplayTogetherArray manage this automatically.
Now, for your problem, the "sterching" is actually displaying your (sorted)
random vercors on the same range on the horizontal axis. So, I'll do it
(sort and strech) together and put the results in new variables l11 and l22
so you can compare it later
<< Statistics`ContinuousDistributions`
<< Graphics`Graphics`
<< Graphics`Colors`

l1 = RandomArray[NormalDistribution[1, 0.5], 100];
l2 = RandomArray[NormalDistribution[1, 1], 200];
{l11, l22} = Thread[{Range[0, 1, 1/(Length[#] - 1)], Sort[#]}] & /@ {l1,l2};

DisplayTogether[ListPlot[l11, PlotStyle -> {PointSize[0.015], Red}, Frame ->
\
True, Axes -> False, PlotRange -> All], ListPlot[l22, PlotStyle -> \
{PointSize[0.015], Blue}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, PlotRange -> All]]

good luck
