[MiKTeX] Keeping table/ figure floats in their order

[Joerg R. <jr...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm experiencing problems with the order of floats using a mix of
{table} and {figure} floats. I want to format an appendix that only
contains figures and tables. They should appear in the order I'm
placing them, e.g. table, table, table, figure, table, table, table,
... This resembles the order I'll reference them in the main text.

It looks like Latex keeps tables in their order but moves the figure
behind the tables to keep them together. This means table, table, figure, table, figure,
table in the code produces table, table, table, figure, figure, table
in the final document.

I've tried a number of optional arguments for placing floats and found
some workarounds using the \afterpage command but couldn't figure out
how this should work for my problem.

Thanks a lot,
Joerg
