General ⇒ The List of References is not on the last Page of a Document

[uwowizard]

In a document, I have a table of the following structure that occupies the whole page and appears in the bottom of the document. I want the table to be before the references list, but somehow it appears after. I place this part of the document (the table is without titles and data).
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Code: Select all

\begin{table*}[ht]
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
\includegraphics[height=6cm]{figures/AverRMS}
\figcaption{...}
\label{fig:AverRMS}
\end{minipage}
\hspace{0.5cm}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[height=6cm]{figures/RMS}
\figcaption{..}
\label{fig:RMS}
\end{minipage}\\
\caption{..}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}\centering
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|l|rc|rc|}
\hline
  ...
\label{tab:307-A}
\end{minipage}
\hspace{0.5cm}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|l|rc|rc|}
\hline
  ...
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:307-lambda}
\end{minipage} 
\label{tab:307}\\
\caption{...}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}\centering

\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
\centering

\begin{tabular}{|l|rc|rc|}

\end{tabular}
\label{tab:237-lambda}
\end{minipage}
\label{tab:237}
\end{table*}

\bibliography{main}   %>>>> bibliography data in report.bib
\bibliographystyle{spiebib}   %>>>> makes bibtex use spiebib.bst

The table floats -- potentially after the list of references. Adding a \clearpage before the references will cause LaTeX to typeset any remaining floating objects and then start a new page. This should solve your problem.

Worked like a charm! Thanks a lot!
