I'm new Latex, I want to use make a table, and it works fine. the problem that I have is the position of table in the document : 

\chapter{chapter description }
\section{section name }
\subsetion{subsection}
here should the text be displayed 
\begin{table}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{p{0.3\textwidth}|c|c|c}
\end{tabularx}
\caption{Table Name   \label{tab:table_label}}
\end{table}

the pdf result hasn't the right order, I get first the table and that the \chapter and section , subsection I don't what I'm doing wrong any idea ? thanks in advance

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! table is a floating environment, i.e. LaTeX will place the table at a place where it's 'best' –  Jan 07 '15 at 16:12
  • The MWE is not compilable (subseCtion) and not complete. When adding \documentclass{report}\usepackage{tabularx} I get the table at the end. Please be more precise with your question. Most questions on this topic will be answered here, I guess: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/39017 – LaRiFaRi Jan 07 '15 at 16:12

    @Engine - If you don't want the tabular material to "float", don't place it in an environment such as table that is meant to float. Have a look at the link provided in Paul Gessler's comment for an in-depth explanation of how LaTeX's floating-object algorithm works. By the way, the example you provided contains two syntax errors and is hence not compilable as is. It's thus also not possible to deduce from your example exactly where the tabular material should be located. – Mico Jan 07 '15 at 16:22
