As far as I can tell, "lawful order" means that the "order" is not requiring you to do something unlawful.
In other words, a LEO walks up and says "You! Go drag race down Main Street with that guy over there." Unlawful order because what you're ordered to do is unlawful.
"Roll down your window!" Rolling down windows is not unlawful. Therefore it is a "Lawful Order".
Agree or not that it should be that way, it appears to be, as far as I can tell.
