To order the integers from least to greatest, we need to remember that:

"Larger" the value of the negative number (absolute value), this negative number is least than other with "shorter" value.

For example: -265 is "larger" than -325.

Every positive number is greater than any negative number. As the value is greater for a positive number, the number is greater than any other with "shorter" absolute value.

Therefore, in the list:

−265, 340, −180, 240, −325

We can reorder the integers from least to greatest in this way:

The negative number with the greatest absolute value:

-325

The following numbers are:

-265, -180, 240, 340.

Therefore, the integers from least to greatest are:

-325, -265, -180, 240, 340.

This is the answer.
