You can use split():

var resp = "12-02-2017,12-02-2017,11-02-2017,10-02-2017";
resp = resp.split(',');
console.log(resp);

@MuhammadAwaisZulifqar, how do you want to be sorted? Ascending or descending? – Ionut Necula Jan 30 '17 at 15:52
Ascending ORDER – Muhammad Awais Zulifqar Jan 30 '17 at 16:02
Assuming you have the array in a variable called `$dates` you can do the next thing: `usort($dates, "compare"); function compare($a, $b){ return strcmp($a, $b); }`. To order them descending just switch the order of `$a` and `$b` in the `strcmp()` function. – Ionut Necula Jan 30 '17 at 16:04
@MuhammadAwaisZulifqar, then you can just `implode` the array by `,` let's say like `$dates = implode(',', $dates);` – Ionut Necula Jan 30 '17 at 16:14
