Default Formula for Dates

Hello,

I have four sets of dates that are supposed to occur in order. They are
formatted as the 3/14/2001 format in Excel. Column A has a start date,
column B has an intermediate date, column C has another intermediate date,
and column D has an end date. These are supposed to occur in order, but
necessarily do not. For example, a correct progression would be 1/31/2008
then 5/16/2008 then 10/1/2008 then 10/1/2011. Working with the OR function
for these dates it would return a true value, and it does. However, I need a
function to determine when any of the dates are out of order. That would be,
for example, the first intermediate date occurring before the start date.
Essentially, I need a function that would look at these four dates and return
a value of false when there are any of them that are out of order.

Thanks!
