Abstract: A well known comparison theorem on ordinary differential inequalities with quasimonotone right-hand side $f(t,x)$

was carried over by
Volkmann (1972) to (pre)ordered topological vector spaces. We prove that the quasimonotonicity of $f$

is a necessary condition here if $f$

is continuous. Then it is shown that quasimonotonicity can be verified by considering only a few positive continuous linear functionals in the definition (for instance in $\ell _{\infty}$ by taking coordinate functionals).
