ORDER BY 1

SELECT ROW_NUMBER ()OVER (ORDER BY database_Id)Db_Id,* INTO #TT FROM #T
SET @strt=1
SELECT @End=Max(Db_ID)FROM #tt

WHILE @strt<=@END
     BEGIN
         DECLARE @string NVARCHAR(MAX)
         SELECT @Database=NAME FROM #TT WHERE Db_ID=@strt

        Set @string='  Select '''+@Database+'''db_Name,* from '+@Database+'.sys.objects 
          WHERE Name=''XYZ_procedure'''

          SET @strt=@strt+1
          PRINT @string
          EXEC(@string)
     END
