I'm not sure what version of org I was using at the time (2014), but knew I'd done this. This might not be exactly what you wanted, but I just used landscape instead of sideways table and know it worked: #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{lscape} #+latex: \begin{landscape} #+latex: \tiny #+attr_latex: :align llll|llllll|lllllll|lll :env longtable | table | goes | here | #+latex: \end{landscape} Like I said, that was old, so some of the syntax would be different (like #+begin_export latex / #+end_export) but it's what I had on hand to send quick!
