Think of it this way:
-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 ....
In an negative, it's different when thinking of 1,2,3 which obviously because its greater than one another. But in this scenario, the GREATER the NEGATIVE, It makes -10 greater than -20.
Think of it this way. Would you rather owe your friends back 10 ( -10)cents or 20 cents (-20)? you would want to owe them 10 cents because you owe LESS!.
