> A pattern I come across frequently, e.g. on Wikipedia, is a paragraph that semantically introduces a figure and, therefore, in markup the text should also come before the table or embedded picture, but they should be displayed side-by-side, with the figure starting at the same vertical position as the paragraph (i.e. aligned top edges) or at the next available position below.

> Foo Bar
Currently, CSS has no proper ways to reorder elements.
Given your specific example, you may use {display: table*} with extra-div wrapping elements intended to be displayed side-by-side, _if_ exact floating behavior (with text placed partially _under_ floating element) is not required.
For vertical reordering, this my article may help you:
