Are you referring to DIVs? I also suppose that you think that using DIVs
will allow to order (e.g. question) informations in a given order, which
is not necessarily corresponding to the location of these elements on
the generated page.

But from what I experimented with DIVs, I think there is nothing (or
very few) to gain in using DIVs instead of tables: for example, if we
want to use the layout I am currently working on, I think this can be
done with DIVs only by embedding them one into each other. In that case
we must use a certain DIVs hierarchy which will finally be equivalent to
using TABLEs... but maybe I'm wrong, because it's true I'm not very easy
with DIVs. On that point I'd like to have some help if someone can.

Yes, but I'll do my best to use what people think is the most easy to
use, modify or upgrade.
