try:
Function myComp(myRng As Range) As Boolean
Dim rngC As Range
Dim i As Long

For Each rngC In myRng
For i = 1 To Len(rngC)
If LCase(Mid(rngC, i, 1)) < _
LCase(Mid(rngC.Offset(, 1), i, 1)) Then
myComp = IIf(Asc(LCase(Mid(rngC, i, 1))) < _
Asc(LCase(Mid(rngC.Offset(, 1), i, 1))), True, False)
Exit For
End If
Next
Next
End Function

and call the function in the sheet with
=myComp(A1)

If nesessary you have to insert a Replace for hyphens and single quotes.
