Add Arrange Buttons in Control panel
Its sometimes really frustrating to using two hands just for the arrange objects. Also right click menu is too time consuming just for the bringing an object to front. Inkscape handles this issue very well without messing up with layers menu or right clicking. They added 4 buttons to dock when an object is selected just for arranging objects easy and user friendly. I really seek this tiny feature in Illustrator.

Got it. Fixed the title to follow the clarification.

I think i misspelled the bar that i've want to mention. I think the bar is called control panel or bar. I dont really know. It probably also works with action panel. The main purpose of these buttons is obviously not moving our hands from mouse to keyboard oftenly. I also highlighted the panel that i've mentioned in case there is a misunderstanding.

Yep, makes sense! I am used to hotkeys, but these involve square brackets, and these are on the right side of the keyboard. My hand dances back and froth from the mouse to keys all the time, but may tasks involve a lot of keys anyway, so I’m fine...
Having these as just buttons would help a lot of users, definitely. I ma surprised no-one asked for this before. The concept is quite old!
I bet it’d take a team a long time to create these... A workaround for this now would be to create four actions for each arrange operation and enable button mode for the Actions panel, to display these actions as buttons. No icons, but will work the same way. Please comment back if it covers this for you, and why not if not.
Also you might want to upvote a similar request about having dedicated Undo / Redo buttons: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31957771
And finally, it’s funny that Ai got its Contextual Task Bar... but unlike Ai for iPads or on Web, this does not have these Stacking Order controls to arrange objects... Would you like to have these in the bar instead of dock (and where exactly? in Control panel? in Properties panel?)
