Here is some pretty useless text before the following table, which will appear
on its own page because of the \texttt{sideways} option.

\ctable[sideways,maxwidth=\textheight,
  caption=A table with \texttt{\textbackslash ctable}.]{@{}>{\ttfamily}l X@{}
}{\tnote[*]{A demonstration with \texttt{\textbackslash ctable}.}}%
 {\FL% FirstLine with default width
sideways\tmark[*] & Rotates the table counter-clockwise (oneside) or clockwise
    (twoside) by 90 degrees and places it on its own table. The \texttt{pos}
    option must not be used in this case.\ML[0.1pt]% MidLine
star & Uses the starred version as floating environment; this only makes
    sense in \texttt{\textbackslash twocolumn} mode to have the table span both
    columns.\LL[0.5pt]% LastLine
}% end of the table argument
