Looking for opposite of a value in same column
 

I have a variable value X in cell 2, column Q. I would like to search for -X
in the entire column Q. I would then like to have both the original value
and the opposite value sorted or filtered so that they appear at the top of
the page.

How do I do this?

Place in Q1:
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(-Q2,Q3:Q65536,0)),-Q2,"")
