Problem with applying redirect-port's policy to LAG

Problem with applying redirect-port's policy to LAG

I need to forward some traffic form a port ingress trough a LAG. so i wrote a policy and used "redirect-port [LAG_MASTER_PORT]" feature to do that.
It works but i found that traffic load-balancing is not based on my sharing algorithm!
My sharing algorithm is address-based custom and ipv4 hash XOR and I found that when i change members of LAG to a number from divisors of 32 (2,4,8,16,32) load-balancing works based on sharing algorithm.
My EXOS version is 16.1.3.6-patch1-9 and according to User Guide16.1 redirect-port must apply load sharing algorithm.
I'm reading last recommended EXOS's release_notes, but no thing about this problem mentioned.

Please aid me if you have any experience with redirect-port

thanks for your response,

My problem is that active numbers of LAG ports is not divisors of 32. for example i have 5 ports in LAG and i need this 5 port. i should disable 1 port to distribute traffic correctly. By the way if i do limit active ports to divisors of 32, when a link goes down or fail for any reason, my load-balancing will be failed.
