Here is another XSLT 1.0 solution:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

 <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

 <xsl:template match="root">
   <root>
     <xsl:for-each select="table">
       <xsl:variable name="x" select="generate-id()" />
       <table>
         <xsl:copy-of
select="preceding-sibling::*[generate-id(following-sibling::table[1])
= $x][not(self::table)]" />
         <xsl:copy-of select="*" />
       </table>
     </xsl:for-each>
   </root>
 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
