His table was sorted by Atomic Mass, not atomic number. (the way today's Periodic Table is sorted) Mendeleev was almost right, but they did not know about protons at the time. (atomic number is the number of protons in an element) There would have been absolutely no way of him figuring out they were related to atomic number if he didn't even know about atomic number
