Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ force caption of the table to be on the top

[fitofito]

Dear LaTeX people,

I have the following problem. The caption of the table, no matter where I put it, is always on the bottom of the table. In the minimal working example things are like they should be- it seems like there must be something else interfering with the placing of the caption. Does anybody has an idea?

Your code snippets are useless. Please always post a full but minimal example. The operative word is »minimal«. That means to drop packages and other pieces of code that are not necessary to reproduce the problem.

Addendum: (17:55)
The example you added does not reproduce the problem thus is no MWE. You have to reduce the problem to a MWE. Providing code that is working fine is not very helpful. Furthermore I still see untagged code.
