What do you mean by highlight if name is not sorted. As soon as first name is not sorted, then other names are out of sort. Could you please upload a sample EXCEL file WITH sample data, macro, formula , conditional formatting etc on some shared site like https://authentification.site , http://docs.google.com, http://wikisend.com/ , http://www.editgrid.com etc and post back here the link to allow better understanding of how it is now and how you foresee. Based on the sample book, could you re-explain your problem too
i had attached the sample in the following link to help more.

You can use conditional formatting for this
As per your sample book, you want to highlight based on data in column C
Select from C2 all the way down to the last cell
Then go to conditional format
enter this formula
=AND(AND(ROW(C2)>1, C2<>""), OR(AND(C2>C3, C3<>""),AND(C1>C2, C1<>"")))
and then click on the format function and choose color yellow
