[Tex/LaTex] Table next to figure with table caption on top but figure caption on bottom

floatssubfloatstables

I use the following code, which I modified from the code I found here (second example), to place a table next to a figure.

However, in comparison to the example linked above, I would like to have the figure caption be placed on the bottom of the figure and the table caption on the top of the table, while both should be aligned correctly at the bottom. So the figure caption should be aligned with the bottom of the table.

Unfortunatly, the following code shifts the table and the figure vertically, such that they are not aligned.

How can I fix that?

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf,tableposition=top]{caption}

\begin{document}
  \begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
  \begin{minipage}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \centering
    \rule{6.4cm}{2.6cm} % Height changed from 3.6cm to 2.6cm
    \captionof{figure}{A table beside a figure}
  \end{minipage}
  \hfill
  \begin{minipage}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \centering
    \captionof{table}{A table beside a figure}
    \begin{tabular}{cc}\hline
      Table head & Table head \\ \hline
        Some values & Some values \\
        Some values & Some values \\
        Some values & Some values \\
        Some values & Some values \\
        Some values & Some values \\
        Some values & Some values \\ \hline
      \end{tabular}
    \end{minipage}
  \end{minipage}
\end{document}

Edit: Changed height of figure.

Best Answer

Set the tabular to be aligned at the [b]aseline as well:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[
  font = small,
  labelfont = bf,
  tableposition = top
]{caption}

\begin{document}

\noindent
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
  \begin{minipage}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \centering
    \rule{5.5cm}{2.6cm} % Height changed from 3.6cm to 2.6cm
    \captionof{figure}{A table beside a figure}
  \end{minipage}
  \hfill
  \begin{minipage}[b]{0.49\textwidth}
    \centering
    \captionof{table}{A table beside a figure}
    \begin{tabular}[b]{cc}
      \hline
      Table head & Table head   \\
      \hline
      Some values & Some values \\
      Some values & Some values \\
      Some values & Some values \\
      Some values & Some values \\
      Some values & Some values \\
      Some values & Some values \\
      \hline
    \end{tabular}
  \end{minipage}
\end{minipage}

\end{document}
