Hyojoung,

If -findit probit heteroskdasticity- doesn't turn up any canned programs 
for testing, you'll have to do it by hand.  A test for heteroskedasticity 
in probit models is described in Davidson and MacKinnon's 1993 book, pp. 
526-527.  It doesn't look too hard to implement.

An alternative is to assume you have heteroskedasticity and use -hetprob-.

I have nothing to suggest about ordered probits, I'm afraid.

Cheers,
Mark
