Updating MS SQL objects with dependencies - sql-server

Question

I have sql scripts DROP ... CREATE... for views, procedures, triggers, functions (in files on disk). I need to run this scripts to update database structure.
But order of executing scripts is important. Because if view1 depends on view2, and I run scripts for view1 first, an error may occurs.
Let's suppose that there are no adscititious dependencies in my scripts, so database knows about all dependencies.
Is there a way to select all this objects names from sql server in dependency order? So I can run scripts in this order and not afraid about above errors.

I wrote this sql:
SET NOCOUNT ON
declare #deps TABLE (name nvarchar(512), dep_name nvarchar(512))
declare #ordered TABLE (name nvarchar(512), [level] INT)
insert #deps(name, dep_name)
SELECT DISTINCT CAST(OBJ.name as nvarchar(512)) AS ObjectName,
CAST(REFOBJ.name as nvarchar(512)) AS ReferencedObjectName
FROM sys.sql_dependencies AS DEP
INNER JOIN
sys.objects AS OBJ
ON DEP.object_id = OBJ.object_id
INNER JOIN
sys.schemas AS SCH
ON OBJ.schema_id = SCH.schema_id
INNER JOIN sys.objects AS REFOBJ
ON DEP.referenced_major_id = REFOBJ.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.schemas AS REFSCH
ON REFOBJ.schema_id = REFSCH.schema_id
LEFT JOIN sys.columns AS REFCOL
ON DEP.class IN (0, 1)
AND DEP.referenced_minor_id = REFCOL.column_id
AND DEP.referenced_major_id = REFCOL.object_id
WHERE OBJ.type_desc IN ('VIEW','SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE','SQL_INLINE_TABLE_VALUED_FUNCTION','SQL_TRIGGER','SQL_SCALAR_FUNCTION')
AND REFOBJ.type_desc IN ('VIEW','SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE','SQL_INLINE_TABLE_VALUED_FUNCTION','SQL_TRIGGER','SQL_SCALAR_FUNCTION')
insert #ordered(name, [level])
select distinct d1.dep_name, 1 as [level]
from #deps d1
LEFT JOIN #deps d2 ON d1.dep_name = d2.name
where d2.name IS NULL
WHILE EXISTS(select * from #deps)
BEGIN
delete d
FROM #deps d
JOIN #ordered o ON d.name = o.name
insert #ordered(name, [level])
SELECT DISTINCT d0.name, (select MAX([level]) + 1 FROM #ordered)
FROM #deps d0
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT d.name
from #deps d
LEFT JOIN #ordered o ON d.dep_name = o.name
WHERE o.name IS NULL
) dfilter ON d0.name = dfilter.name
WHERE dfilter.name is NULL
END
select * from #ordered
ORDER by level asc
