Latex longtable misalignment after pagebreak

Question

I have a longtable spanning multiple pages but the verticle alignment is forced at the pagebreak, so the first page is pushed down to the bottom while the second page is glued to the top. How can i force both to the top of the page (or to the center for that matter).

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{longtable}


\begin{document}


\section{Title}

\tiny

\vfill
\begin{longtable}[!htb]{>{\raggedright}p{0.5cm}>{\raggedright}p{3.5cm}>{\raggedleft}p{1.5cm}>{\raggedleft}p{1cm}>{\raggedleft}p{1cm}>{\raggedleft}p{1cm}>{\raggedleft}p{1cm}p{1cm}<{\raggedleft}}

Answer 1

\vfill instructs TeX to insert vertical space as necessary to, well, fill when appropriate. What this means depends on the context but, in this case, you are telling TeX that if it needs to, it is perfectly fine to put such space before and after the table, effectively pushing the first page of the table to the bottom and the final page to the top. If you would prefer TeX not do this, do not tell TeX it is OK to do so. That is, remove the \vfill commands.
