Format a long table overstretching portrait page width to landscape format

rotatingtables

In my new paper (using double-column format), I have a long table that overstretches the page width (even combining both columns) in the current portrait format, and some reviewers suggested that I may format the table in the landscape format for readability. (There are many parameters in the system and this causes the long table with several columns in the performance analysis).

I have enclosed my code below. Any help to put it in landscape format is highly appreciated.

Many journals will not accept a landscape page but will allow you to put a landscape table on a portrait page.

Option 1 Use the table from your question, with minor changes, and rotate a minipage containing the table. Of course, floats are neither allowed nor required, so \captionof{table}{<text >} is used to insert the caption.

[Tex/LaTex] Landscape caption for a rotated figure in a portrait page

You can save the figure + caption in a box and then rotate the box, or use the sidewaysfigure environment from the rotating package. It puts the figure on its own page. For a small figure you can use the \rotcaption command to rotate the caption.

\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{caption}
    \captionsetup{font=small,labelfont=bf}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{rotating}

\newsavebox{\savefig}

            \usebox{\savefig}
