Ehh...
$header = array("Last name", "First name", "email", "Advisor",
"Graduation year", "Highest degree", "Attending");
$table->addRow($header, null, 'TH');

You are doing a lot of unecessary stuff here.
// You need this specific order
$query = 'SELECT lastname,firstname,email,advisor,year,degree,attend
from rsvp ORDER BY lastname";

Sorry, but should have a look at HTML_Table specs again... I would
suggest something like this:
while ($row = $mysqli->mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_NUM) {
$table->addRow($row);
}
Basically, one of the good things about HTML_Table is that you no
longer need to think of tables as cells, instead you can think of it as
rows, columns, cells, and all sorts of things inbetween. Setting one
cell at a time defeats the concept. The only thing that you need to pay
attention to is that you select the required fields in the correct order
for use with "addRow".
