You do not say what the differences are between what you see and what is
shown on wiki page DiredSortMenu.
That page shows a popup menu initiated via `S-mouse-2' (in Dired).
You used `M-x dired-sort-dialogue' instead, which does not provide submenu
Configuration and provides a `Reverse' checkbox instead of a `Reversed Sort
By' submenu. If this is the difference you are seeing then it is expected.
[The menu from menu-bar menu `Immediate > Sort By' (or `Dir > Sort By' if you use Dired+) is essentially the same as the `S-mouse-2' popup menu.]
