Mouse clicks based on position can change depending on screen resolution. Try this basic AppleScript:
It basically clicks all those buttons (and drop down menu) for you, but without relying on coordinates.
The last of the click items has four options, only the first one will execute (never). The other three (alphabetically, group and hierarchically) are disabled with the two dashes preceding them. So this script will disable the menu bar icon. To reenable it, simply put two dashes in front of the "never" line (or delete it completely), and remove the two dashes from whichever option you want (alphabetically, group or hierarchically).
Below is a simple macro that should accomplish disabling the icon. It can be modified much in the way your original macro is to also enable it by making the adjustments to the AppleScript I mentioned above.
EDIT: The revision will now toggle between two options, set from within the AppleScript itself.
