I have an object that looks like this:

const dataObj =
{"Tom-29":[ 
    { "number": 12, "string": "hi"},
    { "number": 40, "string": "bye"}
]}

I want something like below and result sorted by number

[
   Name:"Tom",
   Age:29,
    [{"number": 12, "string": "hi"},
    {"number": 40, "string": "bye"}]
];

How would i do this ? I tried below approach .

 const arr =Object.entries(dataObj).map(itm=>({...itm,Name:itm[0]}));

Please help me to resolve

You can use the object key and append it to each of it's children as a name.

    const dataObj =
    {"Tom-29":[ 
        { "number": 12, "string": "hi"},
        { "number": 40, "string": "bye"}
    ]}

    const results = Object
      .keys(dataObj)
      .map(k => { 
        dataObj[k].forEach(i => { 
          i.name = k.split('-')[0]; 
          i.age = k.split('-')[1]; 
        }); 
        return dataObj[k] 
      })
      .flat();

    console.log(results);

Name and age need to separated
I've updated that for you.
@Pellay one-liners are mostly unreadable. Could you separate it out a bit?
@Andy of course. It kind of grew a little. :)
@Pellay Sorry i have printed wrong format of result.I have edited my results.please help me\

Iterate the dataObj entries with Array.flatMap(), extract the name and age from the key, and then map the values, and add the properties to the original object using array spread:

const dataObj = {"Tom-29":[{"number":12,"string":"hi"},{"number":40,"string":"bye"}]}

const result = Object.entries(dataObj)
  .flatMap(([key, values]) => {
    const [name, age] = key.split('-')
    
    return values.map(v => ({
      name,
      age: +age,
      ...v
    }))
  })
  
console.log(result);
