require_once '../vendor/autoload.php';
use PhpOffice\PhpWord\TemplateProcessor;
use PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory;
use PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord;
use PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings;

Answer 1

The table column order has been fixed by removing empty array as parameter from addTable().

$tbl = $section->addTable(array());

to

$tbl = $section->addTable();

style name should passed to addTable

$table = $section->addTable([$tableStyle]);

Step to define table style

1. create array and define style for table

$tableStyle = array( 'borderColor' => '006699', 'borderSize' => 6, 'cellMargin' => 50 );

2. define style to phpword object

$phpWord->addTableStyle('myTable', $tableStyle);

3. Add style when create table from section

$table = $section->addTable('myTable');
