Decorate-sort-undecorate:

$ awk -v mths='JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec' '
    { printf "%d%02d%02d%s\t%s\n", $7, (index(mths,$4)+2)/3, $5, $7, $0 }
' file | sort | cut -f2-

I'd convert the dates to unixtime and then sort:

$ cat test.txt | while read line; do echo -n "$line|"; date -d "`echo "$line" | cut -c 26-49`" +%s; done | sort -t\| -k2

Cluster11*  expire date: Feb  1 23:59:59 2023 GMT|1675295999
Cluster24*  expire date: May 23 23:59:59 2023 GMT|1684886399

If you copy/paste that code into http://shellcheck.net it'll tell you of some issues with it and why-is-using-a-shell-loop-to-process-text-considered-bad-practice will tell you about others. – Ed Morton Jul 19 '22 at 21:11

perl and Time::Piece module:

perl -MTime::Piece -nle '
    push @A, $_ ;}{
    print for(sort {
        Time::Piece->strptime(join(" ", (split /  ?/, $a)[3..7]), "%b %d %T %Y %Z")
            <=>
        Time::Piece->strptime(join(" ", (split /  ?/, $b)[3..7]), "%b %d %T %Y %Z")
    } @A)
' sample
