I think this covers it.  ":float sideways" now works for both tables and figures, but ":float sidewaystable" is kept for backwards compatibility.  I updated org.texi, and mentioned that the use of ":float sideways" will make the ":placement" option irrelevant.

Attached are the two patches; the one from yesterday and the one that updates as described above.

Cheers,

Greg

Thank you for the patch.

It makes sense since tables provide "sidewaystable". By the way,
wouldn't it make sense to use "sideways" for both, instead of
"sidewaystable" and "sidewaysfigure"?

Also, it needs to be documented in org.texi. Do you want to take care of
that part?
