Will someone please explain why negative flaps supposedly provides
better aileron control.

With -ve flap, the AoA of the wing centre is less, so less lift unless
you increase the pitch angle. Net result is increased lift from the
outer wing sections, where the ailerons are,

I don't think the lift in the outer sections would increase; instead, it
ought to stay the same (for gliders that don't move the ailerons with
the flaps) or decrease (in most gliders the ailerons also rise when
negative flap is selected).
