When ordering negative integers, the greatest of value will be the one with the lowest numeral and theone with the least value is the onewith the highest numeral.

e.g. -1 is higher than -11.

I find that if you are confused that using a numberline can be helpful.

Hope that answers your question and good luck!

The positional place values of digits in negative numbers are in ascending order from least to greatest as for example in the number -987 the least value digit is 9 and the greatest value digit is 7 because -900 < -80 < -7 The positional place values of digits in positive numbers are in descending order from greatest to least as for example in the number 987 the least value digit is 7 and the greatest value digit is 9 because 900 > 80 > 7

How do you order from least to greatest with negatives?

With a number line written with negatives on the left and positives on the right, a number is greater the further right (towards +∞) it is, and less the further left (towards -∞) it is. Thus to order negatives numbers, the least negative number is the one whose absolute vale (that is the value ignoring the sign) is the greatest, and the greatest negative number is the one whose absolute value is the least. (All negative numbers are less than all positive numbers.) eg ordering {-4, -5, -1, -3} in order least to greatest is {-5, -4, -3, -1}; eg ordering {4, -5, -1, -3} in order least to greatest is {-5, -3, -1, 4}.
