If another float of the same type comes +along, and the “defer” list for that type still has something in it, +the later float has to wait for everything earlier in the list. +<p/>Now, standard LaTeX has different lists for single-column floats, +and double-column floats; this means that single-column figures can +overtake double-column figures (or vice-versa), and you observe later +figures appear in the document before early ones. The same is true, +of course, for tables, or for any user-defined float. +<p/>The LaTeX team recognise the problem, and provides a package +(<i>fixltx2e</i>) to deal with it. <i>Fixltx2e</i> amalgamates +the two defer lists, so that floats don’t get out of order. +<p/>For those who are still running an older LaTeX distribution, the +package <i>fix2col</i> should serve. This package (also by a +member of the LaTeX team) was the basis of the relevant part of +<i>fixltx2e</i>. The functionality has also been included in +<i>dblfloatfix</i>, which also has code to place full-width floats +at <a href="FAQ-2colfloat.html"><code>[b]</code> placement</a>. +<p/>Once you have loaded the package, no more remains to be done: the +whole requirement is to patch the output routine; no extra commands +are needed. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>dblfloatfix.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/dblfloatfix.sty">macros/latex/contrib/misc/dblfloatfix.sty</a> +<dt><tt><i>fix2col.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/carlisle.zip">macros/latex/contrib/carlisle</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/carlisle.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/carlisle/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>fixltx2e.sty</i></tt><dd>Part of the LaTeX distribution +</dl> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=2colfltorder">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=2colfltorder</a> +</body> |
