I'm writing an article in a a twoside format and I want to insert a vertical table in one of the columns so I can write up the results in the next column. Following several threads from this webpage I ended up very close, as I get the table in one of the columns. However, I can't get the text on the next column as the text jumps to the next page.
I have a whole article written with twoside so I'd prefer to keep using twoside instead of changing to twocolumns.
Here's an example of what I'm doing:
\documentclass[twoside]{article}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2} % Two-column layout throughout the main article text
\lipsum[3-5]
\begin{sidewaystable*}
\centering
\caption{}
\begin{tabular}{@{}ccc|cc|cc|cc|cc|cc@{}}

Any help is appreciated.

There couple of issues with your current format. If the entirety of your document is two-columned, I suggest to drop the idea of multi-column in the way you did it and instead, try
twocolumnas option of the documentclass. This means:\documentclass[twoside, twocolumn]{article}. Once you do this, you can simply switch fromsidewaystable*tosidewaystableand you should be fine.If you insist on using
multicolsenvironment, there is a solution that you can find in this answer.
