[Tex/LaTex] latex sidewaystable not aligned

rotatingtables

I try to add a table to my document, thus, I used the following code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage[figuresright]{rotating}
\begin{document}
\begin{sidewaystable} 
\centering
\caption{Caption}
\label{Label}       
\begin{tabular}{|p{1.5cm}|p{2.35cm}|p{3.12cm}|p{3.12cm}|p{3.12cm}|p{3.12cm}|}
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{}& \multicolumn{4}{|c|}{XXXXXX XXXXXXX}\\
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{XXXXXX XXXXXXX}&  XXXXXX XXXXXXX BXXXXXXX XXXXXX& XXXXXX XXXXXXX  &  XXXXXX XXXXXXX &   XXXXXX XXXXXXX\\
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{XXXXXX XXXXXXX}  &  XXXXXX XXXXXXX  &  XXXXXX XXXXXXX &   XXXXXX XXXXXXX &  XXXXXX XXXXXXX\\
\hline
\multirow{3}{1.5cm}{XXXX}& XXXXXX XXXXXXX & \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-} & \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-} & \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-} & XXXXXX XXXXXXX \\
\cline{2-6}
&XXXXXX XXXXXXX & XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX & XXXXXX XXXXXXX&  \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-}  & XXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX\\
\cline{2-6}
&XXXXXX XXXXXXX &XXXXXX XXXXXXX &    XXXXXX XXXXXXX &\makebox[\linewidth][c]{-} &\makebox[\linewidth][c]{-}\\
\cline{2-6}
&XXXXXX XXXXXXX  & XXXXXX XXXXXXX & \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-} &  \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-} &\makebox[\linewidth][c]{-} \\
\cline{2-6}
&XXXXXX XXXXXXX & XXXXXX XXXXXXX & XXXXXX XXXXXXX & XXXXXX XXXXXXX &  \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-}\\
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{XXXXXX XXXXXXX}   & XXXXXX XXXXXXX &    XXXXXX XXXXXXX &  XXXXXX XXXXXXX    & XXXXXX XXXXXXX\\
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{XXXXXX XXXXXXX} &  XXXXXX XXXXXXX &    XXXXXX XXXXXXX &\makebox[\linewidth][c]{-}  & \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-}\\
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{XXXXXX XXXXXXX} &   \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-} &    \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-} &    \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-} &    XXXXXX XXXXXXX\\
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{XXXXXX XXXXXXX} &  XXXXXX XXXXXXX &   XXXXXX XXXXXXX &   XXXXXX XXXXXXX& \makebox[\linewidth][c]{-}\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{sidewaystable}
\end{document}

However the table appear like depicted in the attached image

The issue is a result of the lines

\setlength\@fptop{0\p@}
\setlength\@fpsep{12\p@ \@plus 2\p@ \@minus 2\p@}
\setlength\@fpbot{0\p@ \@plus 1fil}

in svjour3.cls.

When you load rotating \rotFPtop is automatically set to \@fptop and \rotFPbot to \@fpbot. Therefore the rotated table shifts to the right (top).

You can change this if you set \rotFPtop explicitly: either to 0pt plus 1fil or to \rotFPbot.

\documentclass{article}
%%% the following  5 lines only for simualating the issue
\makeatletter
\setlength\@fptop{0\p@}
\setlength\@fpsep{12\p@ \@plus 2\p@ \@minus 2\p@}
\setlength\@fpbot{0\p@ \@plus 1fil}
\makeatother
%%%

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage[figuresright]{rotating}
\setlength{\rotFPtop}{0pt plus 1fil}% <- add this line after loading rotating
\setlength{\rotFPbot}{0pt plus 1fil}% <- maybe its better to add this line too

[Tex/LaTex] Left align sidewaystable

The sidewaystable environment is a floating (and rotated) environment, but it does not in itself provide instructions on how to typeset tabular material. For that, you need to specify a tabular, tabularx, tabular*, etc environment inside the sidewaystable environment. (In other words, the sidewaystable environment behaves exactly like the "ordinary" table environment does, except that it rotates its contents and places them on a separate page.)

For instance, to suppress the horizontal whitespace at the left and right-hand ends of a tabular environment that has four columns (the first left-justified, the remaining three centered), you should specify something like

\begin{tabular}{ @{} lccc @{} }
...
\end{tabular}

The @{} group tells LaTeX to suppress the horizontal whitespace.

If you're using a tabular* environment with a width equal to \textwidth, i.e., the full width of the text block, you could also specify

\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{ @{\extracolsep{\fill}} lccc }
...
\end{tabular*}

[Tex/LaTex] Rotating package + sidewaystable + pagenumbering not rotated expected

As rotation goes along with page count, I though to change it, so tables are oriented as you want. I hope page numbering was not a mandatory requirement. :)
Your Line A hass been changed.

\documentclass[10pt,twoside,letterpaper,oldfontcommands,openany]{memoir}

\usepackage{rotating}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\title{Test title}
\author{Test author}

\begin{document}

\clearpage\pagenumbering{arabic}\setcounter{page}{2}

\chapter{Test chapter}
