Missing warning message with negative loadings

Hi,

I wanted to tell you about a case that happened to me analyzing my data with the package, in case it is useful. I don't have much idea of using GITHub and I'm very new with this kind of analysis, I hope this is the right channel and that the comment is useful. Analyzing my data (94US and 30 Statements) and using PCA and varimax automatic rotation, I have selected 5 factors (following the criteria of minimum number of Q-sorts at least 2 in each factor and Humphrey's rule). When I reviewed the Q-sort assigned to each factor I realized that for discourse 5 there is a Q-sort completely opposite to the idealized Q generated. This comes from the fact that the factor loading of this Q-sort is significant but negative (-0.48*), reviewing the documentation of the package I have seen that the qflag function (if I understood correctly) should send a warning message in these cases "The function also runs two checks: Q-sorts flagged that have negative loadings and Q-sorts flagged in more than one factor. If any of these is true, the function returns a warning for the user to inspect the automatic pre-flagging (which should be done in all cases, but particularly in these ones)", but it has not been the case. I warn you in case there is something missing in the package that should send the warning but doesn't do it, or something else. I also wanted to ask, if possible, if you can advise me what to do in this case, switch to manual rotation with the advanced analysis option that I have seen in the cookbook? I have not found much information on what to do in these cases.

Best regards!
