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% for dir in *

torch% alias dir="ls -lSrah" 
torch% for dir in *
