pkg-query(8) doesn't provide any sorting capabilities.  However, it is
fairly trivial to pipe the output into sort(1)

Neither.  It's the unix time -- seconds since the epoch, where the epoch
date is:

% env TZ=UTC date -j -f %s 0
Thu Jan  1 00:00:00 UTC 1970

or the same time in whatever timezone you inhabit.
