var array = ["AB Street", "A B Street", "AB Street XE", "AB Street X", "AB Street(XE)"];
var regex = /[^a-z]/gi;
var final = [];
array.sort(function(item1, item2){
 var _a = item1.replace(regex,"");
 var _b = item2.replace(regex,"");
 return _a > _b? 1: _a < _b ? -1: 0;
}).reduce(function(currentItem, nextItem) {
 var _p = currentItem.replace(regex, "");
 var _c = nextItem.replace(regex, "");
 if (_c.indexOf(_p)<0 || !currentItem) {
 final.push(nextItem);
 }
 return nextItem;
}, "")
console.log(final)

You can try something like this:

###Logic

• Sort the array in ascending order
• Set initial value to be blank
• Loop over and check if current value has previous. If not, then push it in array.

Note: You are comparing parsed values, so you should sort based on these parsed values only.

var array = ["AB Street", "A B Street", "AB Street XE", "AB Street X", "AB Street(XE)"];

 var _b = item2.replace(regex,"");
 return _a > _b? 1: _a < _b ? -1: 0;
}).reduce(function(currentItem, nextItem) {
 var _p = currentItem.replace(regex, "");
 var _c = nextItem.replace(regex, "");
 if (_c.indexOf(_p)<0 || !currentItem) {
 final.push(nextItem);
 }
 return nextItem;
}, "")
