I have a question about current

If i am comparing two currents which are both negative, how do i know which one is bigger

For example,
current 1 is -1.00E-6 V
current 2 is -4.00E-6 V

I'm guessing that current 2 is bigger, and the negative sign is ignored

am i correct?
help please

The sign only reflects the polarization of the electrode. The amplitude is given by the number. Which is larger, 0.000004 or 0.000001?
