I think using Conditional Formatting would be your best option here.
For this example, I'm going to assume this is a list that starts in cell A1 and runs down column A. Create a new conditional rule for the range of cells, and type the following into the rule:
"=A2>A3"
Then change the format to whatever kind of text formatting you want to highlight the error.
Edit: Adding attachment as example.
