you can sort on DataSource. So you can add a hidden field to DataSource and make it to lower case. Sort this hidden field.

Here is an example:

userNamen = [];
$.each(obj.users, function(i, el){
     userNamen.push({ no: el.no,
                      name: el.ID,
                      email: el.email,
                      fax: el.faxDirect,
                      phone: el.phoneDirect,
                      toLowerCase: el.ID.toLowerCase()
     });
})
$("##callTo").data("kendoDropDownList").setDataSource(userNamen);
$("##callTo").data("kendoDropDownList").dataSource.sort({ field: "toLowerCase",
                                                          dir: "asc" });

Here's a solution which replaces the comparer used by the datasource:

https://gist.github.com/JohannesHoppe/4161255

And here's the relevant thread I got that link from (that's also where Sankar's solution is from): http://www.kendoui.com/forums/kendo-ui-web/grid/how-to-enable-case-insensitive-sorting-on-kendo-ui-grid.aspx

(note that case-insensitive sorting is apparently implemented in newer versions of Kendo UI, so you might just want to upgrade)
