I've run into this question before, but am not sure this is the same
thread I resolved it:
- https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-03/msg00373.html

Namely: #+attr_latex: :float sidewaystable

Another option I use regularly:
- https://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg110703.html

Namely: lscape pacakge longtable


Hope that helps!
