I have several tables in my document which are all placed at the right place. However, two tables are now suddenly displayed at the end of my document, behind the references. I did not change anything in the code of the table. I now tried to

\begin{table}[htbp]\centering
\def\sym#1{\ifmmode^{#1}\else\(^{#1}\)\fi}
\begin{tabular}
...
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

alter from htbp to h!, H and so forth. However, nothing changes. Two tables are always displayed at the end of the document. I work with overleaf and have no clue why the tables suddenly changed their position. I would be super grateful for any help.

    the point of the table environment is to allow tables to move, so you presumably have one table that can not be placed for some reason eg too big for a text page, too small for a float page. If one table can not be placed then all following tables will go to the end as they are kept in order. – David Carlisle Aug 27 '21 at 17:51

    This is not related to overleaf, it is standard latex behaviour. Note that your statement that using [H] does not change this can not be right, if you use float package and H the table will not move, if you use H without the float package you should get an error about unknown float option. – David Carlisle Aug 27 '21 at 17:52
  • Great, thanks! There was indeed one table which I could now move using [H] and place above the references again. The next table also followed suit as you said. Thanks! – Bobotovkuk Aug 27 '21 at 17:56
