What version of Jaws were you using?
In the most recent version, the Reading order discrepancies appear to have been addressed.
I have noticed that the issues I experienced were no longer occurring.
I was noticing that regardless of the reading order, that any slide containing 1 or more tables, that the tables would be read following the title for the slide.
See the text for the What's new document for this version that mentions this fix.
You will find it under the other options heading.
In PowerPoint, resolved an issue where JAWS was not correctly respecting the reading order of slide content as defined by the author.
