### Theory:

• Write the integers from the smallest to the greatest.
• Write the integers from the greatest to the smallest.
Arranging the numbers from the smallest to the greatest is called ascending order.
Example:
Order the following integer from the smallest to the greatest.

$$-125$$, $$84$$, $$0$$, $$-152$$, $$56$$.

Step 1: First split the positive numbers and negative numbers.

$$84$$ and $$56$$ are positive numbers.

$$-125$$ and $$-152$$ are negative numbers.

$$0$$ is neither a positive nor a negative number.

Step 2: The greatest number with a negative sign is the smallest of all.

$$-152 < -125$$.

Step 3: Negative numbers are always lesser than zero.

$$-152 < -125 < 0$$.

Step 4: The remaining numbers are $$84$$ and $$56$$. Here $$8 > 5$$ (left-most digits).

$$-152 < -125 < 0 < 56 < 84$$.

Thus, the ascending order of the set of values is $$-152 < -125 < 0 < 56 < 84$$.
Arranging the numbers from the greatest to the smallest is called descending order.
Example:
Consider the same set of numbers $$-125$$, $$84$$, $$0$$, $$-152$$, $$56$$.

As the descending order is the greatest to the smallest, let us arrange it in the reverse order.

The descending order of the set of values is $$84$$ $$>$$ $$56$$ $$>$$ $$0$$ $$>$$ $$-125$$ $$>$$ $$-152$$.
