Can I list both of my Apple IDs in "Family Sharing" to avoid having to switch back and forth to access App Store?

I have two Apple IDs acquired early in my MAC experience and have purchased apps under each. Apple doesn't have a procedure to "merge" the two.

Is it possible to list myself twice as a family member(s) under my Family Sharing? The idea is to avoid having to switch back and forth between IDs to update apps.

Thanks

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

Yes, you can set one up as the organizer and invite the second id. Once they are in the same Family, you will be able to switch between the two in any of the "Stores", Mac App Store, iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. It works very well, I use it frequently.
