Try editing your theme files and replacing <?php the_date();?> with <?php the_modified_date();?> and <?php the_time();?> with <?php the_modified_time();?>

I testing this on default Twenty Ten 1.1 and only in archive, attachment and functions.php have something with “date”.
default date/time format in functions.php is:
function twentyten_posted_on() {
...some code...
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
get_the_date()
and change into:
function twentyten_posted_on() {
...some code...
esc_attr( get_the_modified_time() ),
get_the_modified_date()
but with no changes on web π
Remember to press CTRL and F5 simultaneously when viewing an updated page/site. Or try emptying your browser cache. This should ensure that your web browser fetches a fresh copy of the page rather than serving up an out-dated copy from your own cache.
Also disable/deactivate any caching plugin(s).
i testng all on online server and in my local private server (basic WP witn no plugins) …and with no luck π
The code changes you’ve posted should work. Have you actually updated any posts since you made the changes?
i create two test posts:
TEST02 – “Published on: Aug 18, 2010 @ 23:09” (Last edited is same)
TEST01 – “Published on: Aug 18, 2010 @ 22:44” BUT “Last edited by admin on August 18, 2010 at 23:12”
on website is TEST02 still in first place π
The default listing order won’t change as that’s based on the original publication date – not the modified date. If you wanted to modify the listing order, you’d need to add a custom query to the relevant template file(s) based on the modified date.
i find plugin “Custom Post Order”
