The only way I can think of would be to write a filter that
moves all the tables and figures to the end of the document.
Note: the following is untested, but something like this
should work:

-- floatsToEnd.hs
import Text.Pandoc.JSON
import Text.Pandoc.Walk

main :: IO ()
main = toJSONFilter floatsToEnd

floatsToEnd :: Pandoc -> Pandoc
floatsToEnd (Pandoc meta bs) =
  Pandoc meta $ walk (remove isFloat) bs ++ query isFloat bs

isFloat :: Block -> Bool
isFloat (Table{}) = True
isFloat (Para [Image{}]) = True
isFloat _ = False

remove :: (Block -> Bool) -> Block -> Block
remove pred b | pred b    = Null
              | otherwise = b
