What are the common mistakes in Using inequality symbols to compare numbers?

When a pupil makes one of these on Revision Workshop, the marking engine names the mistake and explains it, instead of just marking the answer wrong.

Reverses the direction of an inequality symbol incorrectly
Used the reversed symbol, mixing up which side is smaller and which is bigger
Gives a negative value as the size/magnitude of a quantity that must be positive
Used the reversed symbol - likely treated the negative number with the larger magnitude (e.g. -15) as if it were the bigger value, instead of recognising a more negative number is smaller
Orders negative numbers by their magnitude alone, ignoring that a negative with a larger magnitude is actually smaller
Thinks -120 is bigger than -85 because 120 > 85, so writes the first balance > the second balance instead of the first balance < the second balance.
