In latest version 2012 or more  we can get modified stored procedure detail by using this query  SELECT create date  modify date  name FROM sys procedures  ORDER BY modify date DESC

SELECT name  create date  modify date  FROM sys objects WHERE type    P  ORDER BY modify date DESC   The type for a function is FN rather than P for procedure  Or you can filter on the name column

You can use this for check modify date of functions and stored procedures together ordered by date    SELECT  Stored procedure  as  Type   name  create date  modify date  FROM sys objects WHERE type    P    UNION all  Select  Function  as  Type  name  create date  modify date FROM sys objects WHERE type    FN  ORDER BY modify date DESC   or    SELECT type  name  create date  modify date  FROM sys objects WHERE type in  P   FN    ORDER BY modify date DESC -- this one shows type like   FN for function and P for stored procedure   Result will be like this     Type                    name        create date                 modify date  Stored procedure       firstSp     2018-08-04 07 36 40 890     2019-09-05 05 18 53 157  Stored procedure       secondSp    2017-10-15 19 39 27 950     2019-09-05 05 15 14 963  Function               firstFn     2019-09-05 05 08 53 707     2019-09-05 05 08 53 707

For SQL 2000 I would use   SELECT name  crdate  refdate  FROM sysobjects WHERE type    P   ORDER BY refdate desc
