How to sort object in JavaScript based on date

Question

Input Data

 var data =  {
    "36905b7cb": "(2019-12-26 T 13H-39M-0S) Co-Testing",
    "cad5dd7ea": "(2019-12-05 T 16H-38M-9S) Diagnosis",
    "sad4217ea": "(2020-03-05 T 16H-38M-9S) Bio-Testing"
  }

Expected Output

var data =  {
    "sad4217ea": "(2020-03-05 T 16H-38M-9S) Bio-Testing"
    "36905b7cb": "(2019-12-26 T 13H-39M-0S) Co-Testing",
    "cad5dd7ea": "(2019-12-05 T 16H-38M-9S) Diagnosis"
  }

we have to arrange the data in the sorted based on date.Not the KEYS

Are you sure that you need it to be an object not an Array? Because the keys of an Object are not ordered — Manish Sundriyal, Apr 22 '20 at 08:25
@ManishSundriyal in JS you have keys order guaranteed by the spec so it's safe to use. It means that you can iterate over object keys in the order they were added — Sebastian Kaczmarek, Apr 22 '20 at 08:27
@ManishSundriyal we have an object in which to order data based on date. — Rahul Saini, Apr 22 '20 at 08:27
@SebastianKaczmarek I know that, but the thing is we cannot order keys of an Object. — Manish Sundriyal, Apr 22 '20 at 08:28
@RahulSaini Can you share what you want to do with the sorted object? Maybe we can give a different solution to it. Because we cannot sort the keys of an Object. It is generally sorted in alphabetical order. — Manish Sundriyal, Apr 22 '20 at 08:29
@ManishSundriyal Oh, ok, I see what you mean now. You said that *"keys are not ordered"* so I referred to that. — Sebastian Kaczmarek, Apr 22 '20 at 08:29
@ManishSundriyal Only I want to show sorted data in the view(Front side). — Rahul Saini, Apr 22 '20 at 08:31
@RahulSaini that's fine. But how you will be using it? Are you showing a list? — Manish Sundriyal, Apr 22 '20 at 08:33

You can use the array util functions like reduce, sort.
