I'm writing a paper using IEEEtrans, and need to include a long wide table (multipage, full width), but I can't get that the table starts at the beginning of a page without leaving so much empty space in the previous 2-column page.
I also need to repeat headers in each page, use captions, labels, and set column style as parragraph, but I think that it is more important to get first the desired location.
I have tried, longtable, supertabular, xtabular but can't get it work. I would like something like this mock-up:
Here is my MWE. Not sure how to generate dummy rows so it is quite long. Also, this example is using article class, I think it could work as well.
