I have a long and wide table of text I'd like to have sideways (landscape
orientation) and stretch over multiple pages. I can do either one but not both
together.
Here's a gist with a long, wide table:
https://gist.github.com/wdenton/f11acf2e5257b29789f806b854d0709e
If you take that and export it to LaTeX it will be long (on two pages) but not
sideways, with some columns are cut off on the right---the float is being
ignored, it seems.
Using the float on its own does work, and this appears in the output:
\begin{sidewaystable}[htbp]
But when the longtable is there, it's just this without any sidewaystable:
\begin{longtable}{rrllllll}
Is this a bug? I assumed they'd work together out of the box, but maybe I need
to do something special.

I'm not sure what version of org I was using at the time (2014), but
knew I'd done this. This might not be exactly what you wanted, but I
just used landscape instead of sideways table and know it worked:
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{lscape}
#+latex: \begin{landscape}
#+latex: \tiny
#+attr_latex: :align llll|llllll|lllllll|lll :env longtable
| table | goes | here |
#+latex: \end{landscape}
Like I said, that was old, so some of the syntax would be different
(like #+begin_export latex / #+end_export) but it's what I had on hand
to send quick!

This still works. I use exactly this and it works with latest org.

I'm several days late, but: thank you! This works perfectly.
