Do closer stars have greater absolute broghtness than farther stars?

Of course not. If it worked that way, then each star would need to know, and care,
how far it is from Earth, and it would also need some way to regulate its own intrinsic
magnitude based on that bit of information.
Furthermore, even if the stars were equipped in that way, and cared, the system
couldn't work unless they could all communicate with each other and agree on a
standard ... what brightness to use for what distance.
I'm not an astronomer, but my innate common sense tells me that none of that is going on.

How do you do least to greatest with negatives?
The closer a negative number is to zero, the higher it's value. The farther away from zero the lower it's value. For example -3 is greater than -8 or you can also say that -8 is less than -3 and -1 would be greater that both because it is closer to zero.
