Yes, to now it checks for X permission, but not R permission, before accessing 
a directory. Now fixed.

That's an indicator for no sorting at all. More particularly, the 
directory-display process was interrupted at a point when sorting was turned

the -2 value to 0, or as noted in your later post, delete the line.
