What is the most efficient way to sort a collection of objects labeled with unique identifiers according to the following rules?
1. Objects with odd-numbered identifiers must be placed in the left bin.
2. Objects with even-numbered identifiers must be placed in the right bin.
3. Objects with a prime number as their identifier must be placed in the center bin.
4. The center bin may only contain up to five objects.
Assume that the collection is stored as an array of objects, where each object has an "id" property representing its unique identifier. Write a JavaScript code that implements this sorting strategy in the most efficient way possible.

Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that. Since you're storing the objects in an array, you can use the `Array.filter()` method to separate them into the left, center, and right bins based on their unique identifiers.

Here's one way to do it:

```javascript
function sortObjects(objects) {
  const leftBin = [];
  const centerBin = [];
  const rightBin = [];

  const leftFilter = object => object.id % 2 === 0 && !Number.isInteger(Math.sqrt(object.id));
  const centerFilter = object => Math.sqrt(object.id) % 1 === 0 && Number.isInteger(Math.sqrt(object.id)));
  const rightFilter = object => !(leftFilter(object) || centerFilter(object));

  leftBin.push(...objects.filter(leftFilter));
  centerBin.push(...objects.filter(centerFilter));
  rightBin.push(...objects.filter(rightFilter));

  if (centerBin.length > 5) {
    // Handle the situation where the center bin already contains more than 5 objects
  }

  return { leftBin, centerBin, rightBin };
}
```

In this function, `leftFilter`, `centerFilter`, and `rightFilter` are predicate functions that select objects that match a particular rule (left, center, right). Once you've filtered the objects, you append them to the corresponding bins.

The `if (centerBin.length > 5)` check is an example of how to handle the situation where the center bin already contains more than 5 objects. You should replace this with whatever logic makes sense for your specific use case.

Finally, this function returns an object containing the sorted bins.

Sure, I can help with that. Here's a JavaScript function that sorts an array of objects according to your rules. This function uses a helper function to check if a number is prime.

```javascript
function isPrime(num) {
    if (num <= 1) return false;
    if (num === 2) return true;
    if (num % 2 === 0) return false;
    let sqrtNum = Math.sqrt(num);
    for(let i = 3; i <= sqrtNum; i += 2) {
        if(num % i === 0) return false;
    }
    return true;
}

function sortObjects(arr) {
    let leftBin = [];
    let rightBin = [];
    let centerBin = [];

    for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        let id = arr[i].id;
        if (isPrime(id) && centerBin.length < 5) {
            centerBin.push(arr[i]);
        } else if (id % 2 === 0) {
            rightBin.push(arr[i]);
        } else {
            leftBin.push(arr[i]);
        }
    }

    return { leftBin, centerBin, rightBin };
}
```

This function first checks if the identifier is prime and if the center bin has less than 5 objects. If both conditions are true, it adds the object to the center bin. If the identifier is not prime, it checks if it's even. If it is, it adds the object to the right bin. If it's not, it adds the object to the left bin.

The `isPrime` function checks if a number is prime by checking if it's divisible by any number up to its square root, which is a more efficient way of checking for primality than checking up to the number itself.

This solution has a time complexity of O(n * sqrt(m)) where n is the number of objects and m is the maximum identifier, assuming that the identifiers are uniformly distributed. The space complexity is O(n) because in the worst case scenario, we might need to store all objects in the bins.
