Find/Replace regex to rearrange text in Notepad++

Question

I have certain data that I want to rearrange (it's all on the same line) I have tried multiple approaches but I can't get it to work.

Here is an example of the text:

DATA1="8DE" DATA2="322" DATA3="20" DATA4="19.99" DATA5="0.01"
DATA1="FE4" DATA2="222" DATA4="400" DATA3="400" DATA5="0.00"
DATA1="CE3" DATA2="444" DATA4="60" DATA5="0.00" DATA3="60"
DATA1="MME" DATA3="20" DATA4="20" DATA5="0.00"
DATA2="667" DATA4="30" DATA3="30" DATA5="0.00" DATA1="MH4"

This should be the output:

8DE     322     20      19.99   0.01
FE4     222     400     400     0.00
CE3     444     60      60      0.00
MME             20      20      0.00
MH4     667     30      30      0.00

I have tried the following but to no avail:

FIND: DATA1=\"(.*?)\"|DATA2=\"(.*?)\"|DATA3=\"(.*?)\"|DATA4=\"(.*?)\"|DATA5=\"(.*?)\"

REPLACE: \1 \2 \3 \4 \5

and

FIND: DATA1=\"(?<d1>.*?)\"|DATA2=\"(?<d2>.*?)\"|DATA3=\"(?<d3>.*?)\"|DATA4=\"(?<d4>.*?)\"|DATA5=\"(?<d5>.*?)\"

REPLACE: $+{d1} $+{d2} $+{d3} $+{d4} $+{d5}

I would be happy if someone can help or direct me to the right answer (and sorry for any misunderstanding as english is not my first languaje)

The regex

^(?=.*\bDATA1="([^"]+)"\h*)?(?=.*\bDATA2="([^"]+)"\h*)?(?=.*\bDATA3="([^"]+)"\h*)?(?=.*\bDATA4="([^"]+)"\h*)?(?=.*\bDATA5="([^"]+)"\h*)?.*

This regex works by using optional lookaheads to locate DATAx (where x is the number) and capturing the value inside the " into a capture group, then matching the whole line (in order to replace it).

The replacement

$1\t\t$2\t\t$3\t\t$4\t\t$5

This replacement just references the capture groups and adds tab characters between them while reordering them in the order of DATA [1,2,3,4,5] .

The result

8DE     322     20      19.99       0.01
FE4     222     400     400     0.00
CE3     444     60      60      0.00
MME             20      20      0.00
MH4     667     30      30      0.00
