If you are talking about entities over a well-ordered set, the answer is yes since, for any two elements, the trichotomy law holds (else it isn't a well-ordered set)
In any other context, it depends upon how you define 'greater than', 'equals', and 'less than'.

In numeric sets, like natural, integer and real numbers (which are ordered), 1 > 0. This can even be proved, when constructing the set of natural numbers. Maybe the sources can help you some.
About the terms you use for "zero" and "one", they can't seem to be comparable (volume vs. onlyness).

yes -
in your definitions, zero doesn't have a quantity (null)
and one is a quantity - just without a companion
Look back a what you typed and you will see it too.
