[Tex/LaTex] wrapfig and rotating place figure at end of document

Question

With the packages wrapfig and rotating and calls to wraptable, sideways and tabular, I get a document where the table is placed at the end of the document. For instance, in a two page document defined by \pagebreak, my table gets placed on the second page, or at the end of the document, and not where I want it, on the first page where it is declared. Anyone know why this happens or have a work around?

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{wrapfig}

\begin{document}

\section{Test page 1}

\begin{wraptable}{r}{.5\textwidth}
\begin{sideways}
\begin{tabular}{l}
1 \\
2 \\
3 \\
4
\end{tabular}
\end{sideways}
\end{wraptable}

\pagebreak

\section{Test page 2}

\end{document}

Basically, I want to rotate a (sizable) table on a page that also has horizontal text.

Answer 1

wraptable is meant to be used along with text such that it wraps along. You just add text before and after wraptable, then things are set right.

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{wrapfig,lipsum}

\begin{document}

\section{Test page 1}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{wraptable}{r}{.5\textwidth}
\caption{A wrapped table will not float if there is enough text surrounding it.}\label{wrap-tab:1}
\begin{sideways}
\begin{tabular}{l}\\
1 \\
2 \\
3 \\
4
\end{tabular}
\end{sideways}
\end{wraptable}
\lipsum[2] %%% This provides text.
\pagebreak

\section{Test page 2}

\end{document}
