Does this happen in every directory, or do you have a file named
"--exlucde" that you created by mistake in the dir where this happens?
That name would tend to sort first ahead of most other names. I can
recreate it like this:
$ touch ./--exlucde
$ ls *
ls: unrecognized option '--exlucde'
Try `ls --help' for more information.
$
and I can fix it like this:
$ rm ./--exlucde
$
