Question

Rotated table in Latex appears at the end of the file.

Answer 1

+2 A:

Have you tried the something like htbp for the placement of the float object?

\begin{sidewaystable}[htbp]
...
\end{sidewaystable}

Yes; the problem is that if a table is too big then `h` is inappropriate, and the table will float to a page of its own, which is usually much later (perhaps the end) in the document.

Yes, I know that. I have pasted your code example in a LaTeX document with ~10 pages output and in my case the placement using the htbp option was at the correct position.

The p is important. It is not part of the default which is why your tables are floating to the end. Just make sure you include it and the problem should be solved.

Thanks a lot for the answer. This works like a charm.

Answer 2

A:

you can try and use \begin{table}[h!] -- the ! will try and tell latex to force your table into the exact spot. I've had hit or miss results.

Also, with the float package, you can use a capital H \begin{table}[H] to keep your table from floating.

I tried your suggestions, too. ! did not work; table was still at the end of file. H made the table disappear completely :)

did you add the float package to your preamble?Like this : \usepackage{float}The float package provides the H, so if you don't have the float package, your table will disappear.
