This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The user was using a feature in the Oxygen builder to get custom fields. The date field was displayed as numbers.
Solution:
Toolset stores the date field as a timestamp, the total number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (01/01/1970)

- https://www.epochconverter.com/
So, In the query filter, you should use "meta_type=NUMBER" instead of "meta_type=DATE". This will solve the sorting issues if they appear. Screenshot; Screenshot 2021-04-03 at 16.03.20.png
Regarding the display of the date, you need to check with the Oxygen support team how to format a timestamp into a date string, or you need to use Types shortcodes instead of the "oxygen shortcode".

Tell us what you are trying to do?
Use Toolset CF with Oxygen Repeater.
I am creating an archive page for the custom post type "motm" (Meeting Of The Minds). Each post has a date for the event (naturally different from the date of publishing), so I have a motm-date custom field, date type.
When I try to get the custom field to display in the repeater, instead of the date, I see weird numbers instead.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Oxygen Repeater standard doc
Is there a similar example that we can see?
I am trying to implement a pretty basic repeater, sorted by a date CF.
What is the link to your site?
