I have question about how to write the expression to get the order in the sequence?

For exmple, if I have this sequence,

E:=[0,2,7,15,26,40]

I want to write a procedure that tells me the location of any input,x in the sequence E.

For example, if I choose x:=3, then the number 3 is actually between 2 and 7, so it will give me the answer C(x)=3 (because 7 is the third elemet).

I try to write the procedure but there always wrong! I do not know what expression should I write!

C:=proc(x)
local
for i from 1 to nops(E) do
if x<=E[i] then
c:=E[i]
fi;od;
end;

Please help!
