panelTest = {} 
panelTest.name = "Panel Teste" 
panelTest.visible = false 
panelTest['cp'] = {} 
  
panelTest['cp'].windowN = Element.create("window") 
panelTest['cp'].windowN:setPosition(200,100,400,400) 
panelTest['cp'].windowN:setZOrder(1) 
  
panelTest['cp'].labelN = Element.create("label") 
panelTest['cp'].labelN:setPosition(30,100,60,20) 
panelTest['cp'].labelN:setZOrder(2) 
  
panelTest['cp'].editboxN = Element.create("editBox") 
panelTest['cp'].editboxN:setPosition(130,100,90,20) 
panelTest['cp'].editboxN:setParent(self['cp'].windowN) 
panelTest['cp'].editboxN:setZOrder(3) 
  
panelTest['cp'].buttonN = Element.create("button") 
panelTest['cp'].buttonN:setPosition(260,100,70,30) 
panelTest['cp'].buttonN:setZOrder(4) 
  
panelTest['cp'].buttonN2 = Element.create("button") 
panelTest['cp'].buttonN2:setPosition(200,120,70,30) 
panelTest['cp'].buttonN2:setZOrder(5) 
  
  
addCommandHandler ( "teste",  
    function () 
        table.sort(panelTest['cp'], function(a,b) 
            return a.zOrder < b.zOrder 
        end) 
  
        for i,v in pairs(panelTest['cp']) do 
            outputChatBox(" - "..v.zOrder,255,0,0,true)

table.sort(panelTest['cp'],function( a, b ) return ( tonumber( a[2] ) or 0 ) > ( tonumber( b[2] ) or 0 ) end )

try that

table.sort(panelTest['cp'],function( a, b ) return ( tonumber( a[2] ) or 0 ) > ( tonumber( b[2] ) or 0 ) end ) 

Nop, return the same man.

But i need order the elements by .zOrder number, i dont understend why you try use [2].

pairs is the thing wrong here

Use ipairs instead

pairs doesn't go from 1 to n, ipairs / for i=1, length does

Don't write wrong things, it's clearly because of pairs here ...
