I use a custom float environment that is basically used as a table environment that provides extra formatting. I would like this environment to use the same numbering as the regular table floats. Is there a way to do that? I have already changed the floatname to match Table by using the floatname command. Here is my initialization code:

```
\newfloat{newtable}{tbp}{lop}[chapter]
\floatname{newtable}{Table}

```

Regular tables numbering also span over chapters... do you have any ideas?
