Where exactly are you putting the settings in the table tags? In principle, the order in which things get displayed should be the same as in pure HTML: first the style declarations within the code, then the style declarations in the head of the HTML file, then the stylesheet.
Sometimes your changes don't get applied because you still have old values in the cached folder (templates_c), or because you change a physical template but don't do the same with the one in the database.
In other words, please be a little more specific so we can elaborate a good answer.
Cheers.
