I am trying to create a sidewaystable table in my appendix. The table (hardly) fits on the page and but is located on the next page. Does someone have a hint for me?

Here is my minimal preamble and the lines for the table.

\documentclass[review,preprint,11pt,authoryear]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{booktabs,tabularx,ctable,array,multirow,hyperref,lineno}
\usepackage{textcomp,amssymb,amsmath,textcomp}
\usepackage{longtable,caption,rotating,geometry}
\usepackage{lmodern,makecell,tablefootnote}
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{3.5pt} 

\geometry{
a4paper,
total={160mm,257mm},
left=20mm,
top=18mm,
}

\captionsetup[longtable]{%
labelfont={small,it} ,
textfont={small,it}     ,
position=top            ,
belowskip=0pt           ,
aboveskip=4pt
}

\newcommand{\tab}{\hspace{5mm}}

\begin{document}
\appendix
\newpage
\section{} \label{s:wrapping}

\begin{sidewaystable}[h]
\begin{small}

    sidewaystables are always placed on a separate page, you'll need to use some other technique if you want to avoid that. See if Ulrike's answer at http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/69287/586 helps. – Torbjørn T. Nov 01 '16 at 16:15
  • Rotating the table is the same. The table is still on the second page. Is there maybe other method of doing this? – Rıza Bayoğlu Nov 01 '16 at 18:39

    Yes, I see. I don't actually know what is causing that. Is your actual table wider by the way? Because the one you show fits in a page without rotation. (Also, don't use vertical rules when you have \toprule/\midrule/\bottomrule from booktabs.) – Torbjørn T. Nov 01 '16 at 18:53
  • Yes, it is wider. I updated my post filling the table with its right content. It fits in a page, I have no problem with that. What do you suggest instead of using vertical rules? – Rıza Bayoğlu Nov 01 '16 at 19:23
  • \cmidrule(lr){3-6} and similar to distinguish the groups, as in e.g. http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/238503/tip-on-how-to-make-a-visually-good-table/238516#238516 and http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/18092/vertical-lines-are-being-broken-up-disrupted-by-the-horizontal-booktabs-lines/18114#18114. To fit that in the same page as the \section you need to reduce the size somehow. Restructure, reduce \tabcolsep and fontsize, or (worst case) use \scalebox/\resizebox (see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/332902/my-table-doesnt-fit-what-are-my-options). – Torbjørn T.
