Came across this post on Reddit which seems to suggest that it is due to a non-GNU version of ls which I suppose would apply to FreeBSD's ls(), but it does make any sense to me.
Many thanks that worked. I put this right at the beginning of my init.el. Just getting started with emacs and scared of messing it up. I originally started looking at it a few years ago and installed a package called prelude although didn't have time to find my way around it or not. Not sure if it needs updating or not or where I got it from.
