title: Converting date from character to date format that can be used in a time series analysis in R
body: <p>I have a column in my data that has reported time as follows:</p>
  <pre><code>ID   country      Time
  1      USA        March 18th 2020
  2     Canada      April 21st 2020
  3     Monaco      June  12th 2020
  4     France      March 8th 2020
  5     Italy       July 2nd 2020
  </code></pre>
  <p>The <code>time</code> column is in <code>character</code>. I wonder how I can convert it to <code>date format</code> that <code>R</code> and other software like <code>Power BI</code> and <code>Tableau</code> can understand the order of date as I want to use <code>Time</code> as a <code>factor</code> variable that has <code>ordinal</code> factors for my reporting. at this time, <code>Power BI</code> doesn't recognise the order of <code>date</code> in the <code>Time</code> column.</p>
