I'd use a DisplayGroup, and assign minimal decorators to each of the
elements:
$form->addElement('select', 'fieldName', array(
// ...
'decorators' => array('ViewHelper', 'Label'),
));
$form->addElement('select', 'sortOrder', array(
// ...
'decorators' => array('ViewHelper'),
));
$form->addDisplayGroup(array('fieldName', 'sortOrder'), 'field', array(
'decorators' => array(
'FormElements',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'div', 'class' => 'field')),
),
));

Extra complexity. :) Try the above, and see if it accomplishes what
you're trying to do.
