For vertical stacking (top to bottom):

convert -append 1.jpg 2.jpg out.jpg

For horizontal stacking (left to right):

convert +append 1.jpg 2.jpg out.jpg

as @TrinhHoangNhu mentioned, now -append means vertical (probably due to the increased volume of vertical devices)

Use -append to stack images top-to-bottom.

Use +append to stack images left-to-right.
