Rationale&  The client identified a similar app that had scrolling behavior in and alphabetical list and really liked the way the app worked.  As users will generally know how to spell the scale name, this is a natural way to access the scales as well as browse available scales\\

Best Answer

A blank line starts a new paragraph, which is indented. Paragraphs following section headings are not indented, by default. So you need to prevent indentation of subsequent tables to ensure vertical alignment:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\begin{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to align Tables and Figures vertically with Subfig

Heres an example of a possible solution using minipages; the captions were provided using the \captionof and \caption* commands from the caption package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}

\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{ll}
    \toprule
    column1a & column2a \\
    column1b & column2b \\
    column1c & column2c \\
    column1d & column2d \\
    column1e & column2e \\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
  \captionof{table}{test table 1}
  \label{tab:test1}
  \begin{tabular}{ll}
    \toprule
    column1a & column2a \\
    column1b & column2b \\
    column1c & column2c \\
    column1d & column2d \\
    column1e & column2e \\
    \bottomrule
  \end{tabular}
  \captionof{table}{test table 2}
  \label{tab:test2}
  \caption*{\tablename s:~The general caption}
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
  \centering
  \includegraphics{name1}
  \captionof{figure}{test figure 1}
  \label{fig:test1}
  \includegraphics{name2}
  \captionof{figure}{test figure 2}
  \label{fig:test2}
  \includegraphics{name3}
  \captionof{figure}{test figure 3}
  \label{fig:test3}
  \caption*{\figurename s:~The general caption}
\end{minipage}%
\end{center}
