While TeX will never change the order of your floats, it has a complex algorithm for the float placement that might in some cases appear to be "random-choice" for the un-initiated. I guess the problem is with too many floats or one exeptional large one. TeX has some quite conservative settings about how much space on a page can be used by a float. In this case the floats are pushed back to a page of their own. Starting a new chapter flushes all remaining floats as does the command \clearpage (as ERT). For details see the section on floats in Herberts Tips and Tricks. (See the latest discussion for the new location.) G�nter -- G.Milde at web.de
