If you use Eloquent, it will auto-create/update the timestamps. The DB query builder does not do that.
Docs on eloquent: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/eloquent
If you created your Category model, you can do this, which will automatically populate the created_at and updated_at fields.
foreach ( $data as $category ) {
Category::create([
'category' => $category,
'sort_order' => $sort++,
]);
}
