Generally, you [put it in the order in which you want it to appear,
left to right then top to bottom.

Bunch of text

<img src="image1.gif" align="right" alt="don't forget this">

<br clear="all">

<img src="image2.gif" align="left" alt="don't forget this">

Some more text

You need the clear option with BR here.

It might be a better way of doing it. Tables can allow more precise
layouts, but they can be slower to display and some browsers make a mess
of more complex layouts.
