Hello,

I have this in the documentation (M-x org-info)

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
`:float'
`:placement'
      The table environments by default are not floats in LaTeX.  To
      make them floating objects use `:float' with one of the following
      options: `sideways', `multicolumn', `t', and `nil'.  Note that
      `sidewaystable' has been deprecated since Org 8.3.  LaTeX floats
      can also have additional layout `:placement' attributes.  These
      are the usual `[h t b p ! H]' permissions specified in square
      brackets.  Note that for `:float sideways' tables, the LaTeX
      export back-end ignores `:placement' attributes.
#+END_QUOTE

But, if I use sideways alone (not sidewaystable), the table is not 
rotated.

I don't think that this is very important, but I wanted to let you know 
in case that there is some intention to fix it :) .

Thanks for Org-mode!

I cannot reproduce it. With the following document

  #+attr_latex: :float sideways
  | a | b |

the table is rotated, according to the following code:

  \begin{sidewaystable}[htbp]
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{ll}
  \toprule
  a & b\\
  \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}


Regards,

You are right. I'm sorry. It works with :float, but not with :placement. 
I misread the documentation. Thanks for the answer!
