In this paper we prove the existence of continuous order preserving functions on ordered topological vector spaces in an infinite-dimensional setting. In a certain class of topological vector spaces we prove the existence of topologies for which every continuous total preorder has a continuous order preserving representation and show that the Mackey topology is the finest topology with this property. We also prove similar representation theorems for reflexive Banach spaces and for Banach spaces that may not have a pre-dual.
