If the rectangle is selected and you don't want to mess with a PageItem.zOrderPosition via zOrder() command:

app.executeMenuCommand("sendToBack")

Otherwise:

PageItem.zOrder(ZOrderMethod.SENDTOBACK);

// as in:
var target = app.selection[0];
target.zOrder(ZOrderMethod.SENDTOBACK);

I use "move" method to do this. I can move an element (selected or not) within the same or different container:

FP_Group.move(myLayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);

myPrint.move(FP_Group, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
