I want to find the least negative non positive number in a vector

If I had a set like

[-10 , -5 , -1 , -0.1 , 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5]

How could I write something to find -0.1 and print out its postion in the set. I want to find the highest value negitive number in a set.

Is the set always sorted into order like that?

Perhaps this —

V = [-10 , -5 , -1 , -0.1 , 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5]

V = 1×10

-10.0000 -5.0000 -1.0000 -0.1000 0 1.0000 2.0000 3.0000 4.0000 5.0000

[Vmax,idx] = max(V(V<0))

Vmax = -0.1000

idx = 4

V(idx)

ans = -0.1000

.
