Apologies for the large amount of code, but I can't track this issue down.

I have a few regular tables in my document, as well as a longtable. For some reason, the List of Tables leaves a space before the longtable and labels it "1" when, logically, it should be "4".

Thanks for looking into this.

  • The space is the default since \chapter uses something like \addtocontents{lot}{\addvspace{10pt}} (effectively) for book and apparently for bookest class too –  Feb 27 '17 at 17:32

The table counter is on the reset list of chapter and there is no individuallongtable` counter.

If there should be no reset, e.g. use \RemoveFromReset from the xassoccnt package.

The space between table entries from different chapters is added by the \@chapter command actually.

It uses 

\addtocontents{lot}{\protect\addvspace{10\p@}}%

there.If this is not wanted, use something like 

\begingroup
\renewcommand{\addvspace}[1]{}
\listoftables
\endgroup

The numbering issue comes from the fact that tables are usually numbered chapter by chapter (and has nothing to do with the fact that your fourth table is a longtable and not a table.

If you want continuous numbering, you can use 

\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithout{table}{chapter}

About the spacing in the list of tables, you can use Gonzalo Medina's answer to spacing between chapters in list of tables it seems to work fine here.
