Hello, @Pooja

Method sort:"date" works just with Date objects, so initial data should be formatted via parsing method inscheme:

  scheme:{
    $init:function(obj){
      const parser = webix.Date.strToDate("%D %M %d %h:%i:%s %Y");
  obj.date = parser(obj.date); 
    }
  },;

Then you could use sort:"date" to perform data sorting.
To present data in an initial format, use parsing method again, but as a template:

template:function(obj){
      const parser = webix.Date.dateToStr("%D %M %d %H:%i:%s %Y");
      return parser(obj.date); }

Here is an example: Code Snippet
Please, pay attention, Webix doesn’t handle the TimeZones, so this solution is provided for a string such as Thu Mar 11 14:56:39 2021.
To have a solution with TimeZone included, you probably should use some library for parsing/formatting dates, for example, Moment.js (the overall approach, in this case, stays the same).
