Hi, any body have a idea where i start!! The question is: what´s the best way to order Z axis of each sprit on screen!!? Thank's!!!!

Draw them back to front. Either keep them sorted or sort them before drawing.

Streets of rage, Double Dragon, etc, are actually some of the easiest games to code. A simple sort render routine based on y location combined with a simple {if dist of 2 sprites are close enough} then compare frames to determine action. (hit, block, etc.) Throw in code for a few picksups, weapons, baddies, etc, boom....nothing but level editing from that point on. ;)
