Table numbering confusion and how to link to tables in a book/document?

More questions 😞

Table numbering confusion...

I'm porting over (from MS Word) a document that has a bunch of tables in it.

The document currently looks something like this:

1 Major heading

1.1 Sub heading

text for that sub heading that refers to a table that follows (or may preceed) such as see Table 1-1 that follows

Table 1-1

Row 1/Column 1 content   Column 2 content   Column 3 content

Row 2/Column 1 content   etc....            etc.

Row 3                    etc.               etc.

1.2 Next sub heading

Text to follow that sub head that references Table 1-2 below...

Table 1-2

Row 1/Column 1 content   Column 2 content   Column 3 content

Row 2/Column 1 content   etc....            etc.

Row 3                    etc.               etc.

2 Major heading

2.1 Next sub heading

Text to follow that sub head that references Table 2-1 below...

Table 2-1

Row 1/Column 1 content   Column 2 content   Column 3 content

Row 2/Column 1 content   etc....            etc.

Row 3                    etc.               etc.

3 Major heading

3.1 Next sub heading

etc.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Currently it seems that the tables are numbered based on the chapter number with the chapter apparently being set at 2.

I need the tables to instead use numbering based on the heading (Titles) numbers, but can't seem to figure out how to get the numbers set for the tables as I would want them to be.

What do I need to do to make the table numbers reset based on the paragraph numbers (subchapters if you would refer to them that way...)

Thanks again!
