Good morning Johannes,
This might help. Try:
df <- data.frame(V1=as.factor(c('2008-10-14 09:10:00','2008-10-14
9:20:20','2008-10-14 08:45:00')),V2=runif(3))
df # is a dataframe, just as yours
class(df$V1) # is a factor, just as yours. See ?factor
# This will probably not be ordered
# in a way you like.
df$V1 <- as.POSIXct(df$V1, tz='CET') # makes it a time. See ?POSIXct
class(df$V1) # is a POSIX time now
df2 <- df[do.call(order, df), ] # see ?order
df2 # sorted in a way you like
Cheers, Arien

data.troughput02 <- unique(data.troughput01)
#The Problem is that the dates are mixed and I want to sort/order them by
the date and time.
#The class of the Date/time is as followed:
class(data.input01$V1)
[1] "factor"
# I've already tried sort and order but it didn't work
#Are there any suggestions, how I can solve this issue??
Thanks in advance
