i just downloaded it from the new url you posted the source:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/dired-sort-menu.el

then i eval-buffer. Then went to a dir and pulled the menu
“Immediate‣Sort by‣” and don't see anything about “case insenstive”.
Then i tried “Immediate‣Sort by‣Unsort” out of curiosity, then it
says:
“insert-directory: Listing directory failed but `access-file' worked”.

Btw, the original link:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DiredSortMenu

still doesn't work for me.

At this point, more time spent to get this work is not worthwhile than
the minor incovenience.

This is why i hate tech geek diddling or “play with” source code or
compiling emacs, and why it is important to have everything by
default, because that usually garantee some quality assurance.
