You must have an alias for "dir" coming from somewhere. Furthermore you
must have what's called a global alias for dir; probably it looks like
alias -g dir="ls -lSrah"
It's almost certainly the case that you don't want the "-g" in there.
Note:
torch% alias -g dir="ls -lSrah"

torch% alias dir="ls -lSrah"
