Dear Stefan,
something like this:
In[1]:= data = Table[RandomInteger[{1, 20}], {20}]
Out[1]= {3, 8, 20, 20, 18, 11, 15, 18, 8, 10, 12, 9, 9, 5, 14, 3, 9, \
5, 15, 3}
In[2]:= (data //. {a_, b_, c__} :> {Flatten[Append[{a}, b]], c} /;
OrderedQ[Flatten[{a, b}]]) // First // Flatten
Out[2]= {3, 8, 20, 20}
